Treasure in Connections Answers October 11

Yellow answers: revealed and explained

LOVE
TASTE	TASTE	TREASURE	VALUE

This category wasn't the first one I solved today, mainly because I was still wondering if RELISH fits into GRAVY, or in other words, if it was in the add-ons category. However, after selecting the category below and realizing that DIP was not an option, I looked around for what else might go together. RELISH and SAVOR seemed like a possible combinationand soon I could add TREASURE and VALUE. Some of these words can be both nouns and verbs, but luckily that was okay.

FAST JUMP IN THE POOL
IMMERSE	DIVE	SPLASH	TO SWIM

This was the first category I solved today, mainly thanks to a combination of SPLASH and SWIM. After noticing this I thought DIVE was another possibility and the last word I added was DIP. I don't really consider submersion to be a “jump” into the pool, but I suppose it could be used in this puzzle. This changed my thoughts about the rest of the puzzle and a lot of words, so solving this problem early definitely averted a potential disaster.

AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT
BONUS	ADDITIONAL	FROSTING	SAUCE

This was the last category I solved today, mainly because of the word arrangement. When I got to the last one I didn't have to guess anymore, but before that I had SOSZ and LUK together, but not because it meant something extra. At one point I also had SAUCE and RELISH with them, but when that guess was wrong and I wasn't even one word away, I knew I was on the wrong track. This led me to find the remaining category before returning to this one.

Audacity
BRASS	CHEEK	NERVE	SAUCE

BRASS, CHEEK and NERVE I thought was a potential category, but finding the final word for it was difficult. This was mainly because I didn't give up SAUCE, which is a real food product, but when I saw that it didn't fall into that category, I had to come up with something else. Mainly came here because none of the other words matched CHEEK or NERVE, and I thought this one would be the closest. Fortunately, this time I was right.
