Guess 1HURRAH · WHOOPEE · YAHOO · YAHOOInvalid2.1s

These are all exclamations or cheers expressing enthusiasm or excitement. However, I notice 'YAHOO' appears only once, so let me reconsider: HURRAH, WHOOPEE, YAHOO are exclamations, and HOT DOG can also be an exclamation. These are all words/phrases used to express joy or excitement.

Guess must be 4 unique entries

Guess 3COUCH · EASY · CUTIE · RAZORWrong3.2s

These can all be preceded by 'SCOOTER' to make common phrases or product names: SCOOTER COUCH (or COUCH as in sitting), SCOOTER PIE (wait, that's PIE not EASY). Let me reconsider - these could all follow 'ELECTRIC': ELECTRIC COUCH, ELECTRIC RAZOR, ELECTRIC SCOOTER... Actually, I think these all can be preceded by 'ELECTRIC': ELECTRIC RAZOR, ELECTRIC SCOOTER... Let me try a different approach - CUTIE PIE, EASY STREET, RAZOR SHARP, GOGGLES... Actually, I believe CUTIE, EASY, and others can precede 'PIE': CUTIE PIE, EASY PIE... No. These four can all be followed by 'PIE' or be types of pie.

These can all be preceded by 'SPECIAL': SPECIAL CUTIE PIE (CUTIE PIE), SPECIAL EFFECTS, SPECIAL EXPRESS...

Let me reconsider: CUTIE PIE, EASY PIE, HUMBLE PIE (HUMBLE=I OWE YOU?), SPECIAL EFFECTS... I believe the connection is words/phrases that can precede 'PIE': CUTIE PIE, EASY PIE, HUMBLE PIE, and SPECIAL PIE or these can follow another word to make pie types.

Guess 5COUCH · FRAME · PHRASE · PINWrong2.9s

These can all be preceded by 'SAFETY': SAFETY COUCH (no), or they can all be types of POTATO or follow a word. Actually, I think these all can follow 'VERBAL': VERBAL FRAME, VERBAL PHRASE... Or they can all precede 'POTATO': COUCH POTATO, but the others don't fit. Let me think - FRAME, PHRASE, PIN could relate to hair or structure. Actually, these can all be preceded by 'RAZOR': RAZOR COUCH (no). These might all be things associated with 'HAIR' or types of cuts/styles. Or they could all follow 'GUARD': GUARD RAIL, but COUCH GUARD... Let me try: these are all things with RAILS or BLADES - RAZOR BLADE, but others don't fit. I'll guess these four are compound word parts.

Guess 2COUCH · CUTIE · EASY · PHRASEWrong3.4s

Looking for words that can follow 'Potato,' as in 'couch potato,' 'cutie potato,' 'easy potato'... But 'cutie potato' and 'easy potato' do not make common phrases. Alternatively, checking for words that can follow or precede another word. 'COUCH,' 'FRAME,' 'EXPRESS,' and 'PHRASE' might all relate to words that can follow 'SOFA' or 'PICTURE.' But 'COUCH,' 'FRAME,' 'GOGGLES,' and 'PIN' can all precede 'POTATO,' but 'goggles potato' and 'pin potato' are not known phrases. Alternatively, let's try words that can be types of '___ case'—'FRAME,' 'BELT,' 'RAZOR,' 'PIN'—but 'belt case' and 'razor case' do not fit. Maybe another pattern. Let's try 'RAZOR,' 'BELT,' 'PIN,' 'GOGGLES'—these could potentially be items kept in a gym bag or related to equipment. If not, maybe focus on 'I OWE YOU,' 'EXPRESS,' 'PHRASE,' 'EFFECTS,' these could relate to language or terms. But 'EXPRESS PHRASE,' 'EFFECTS PHRASE,' 'I OWE YOU PHRASE' not common. Try 'EXPRESS,' 'FRAME,' 'EFFECTS,' 'RAZOR'—these are all in photo/video editing. So let's try that for a group.

Guess 5COUCH · CUTIE · EASY · PHRASEInvalid3.1s

Each of these words can be followed by 'potato' to form a common phrase: 'couch potato,' 'cutie potato' (as a term of endearment), 'easy potato' (less common, but could be plausible), and 'phrase potato' (however, this last one does not fit). Reconsidering, perhaps a different connection: 'COUCH', 'EASY', 'CUTIE', 'I OWE YOU'—'couch' and 'easy' can precede 'potato', 'cutie' could relate to pet names, but not grouping cleanly. Alternatively, 'EXPRESS', 'FRAME', 'PHRASE', 'EFFECTS' could all be related to grammar or linguistics. Let's try these as terms that can follow 'turn of' (as in 'turn of phrase', 'turn of events', 'turn of frame', 'turn of express'), although only 'turn of phrase' is an idiom. Focusing on 'EXPRESS', 'FRAME', 'PHRASE', 'EFFECTS' as possible terms found in certain contexts, like film or media. All four are indeed terms used in filmmaking or video production.

Duplicate guess: ['COUCH', 'CUTIE', 'EASY', 'PHRASE']

Guess 6EXPRESS · FRAME · PHRASE · EFFECTSWrong1.7s

These four terms are all related to movies or filmmaking. In film, there are 'express' (as in trains, or rapid movement in movies), 'frame' (as in film frame), 'phrase' (as in catchphrase or signature line from movies), and 'effects' (as in special effects in film production).

Guess 7COUCH · CUTIE · EASY · I OWE YOUWrong2.6s

These four can all be followed by 'potato' to create a common phrase (though 'cutie potato' and 'I OWE YOU potato' are not standard). Alternatively, they could be terms of endearment or simple descriptions, but 'I OWE YOU' does not fit. Re-evaluating, perhaps: 'EXPRESS', 'FRAME', 'PHRASE', 'EFFECTS' are all terms used in film/media, tried already. Looking for idioms, perhaps 'EASY', 'COUCH', 'CUTIE', 'I OWE YOU' as standalone simple expressions. 'I OWE YOU' stands out as the odd one, as it's an acronym (IOU). Maybe the remaining group is 'EXPRESS', 'FRAME', 'PHRASE', 'CUTIE' as things that can be modified by 'Turn of ...'. 'Turn of phrase' is a phrase, not the others, so that's unlikely. Will try: 'COUCH', 'CUTIE', 'EASY', 'I OWE YOU' as potential nicknames or slang terms.

Guess 1HOT DOG · CUTIE · YAHOO · WHOOPEEWrong2.1s

These words can all be used as informal terms or slang for people or expressions of excitement or affection: 'Hot dog' (an exclamation of excitement), 'Cutie' (term of endearment), 'Yahoo' (can mean a rude or noisy person or an exclamation), and 'Whoopee' (an expression of excitement or fun). Alternatively, these could be associated as informal slang or exclamations.

Guess 3I OWE YOU · PIN · CUTIE · BELTWrong2.9s

These four words can be combined with 'point' to form common phrases: 'I owe you a point' (informal in some contexts), 'pinpoint', 'cutie point' (less common, but a stretch), and 'belt point' (less common). Alternatively, since this is not a strong grouping, I will try another approach: 'I OWE YOU', 'PIN', 'CUTIE', 'BELT' are all words that can precede or follow other words to form common compound terms or phrases. However, this grouping is weak; another is that 'I OWE YOU' is an abbreviation IOU, 'PIN' and 'RAZOR' are small sharp objects, 'BELT' and 'COUCH' are items used in furniture or clothing context. Let me try a different grouping next.
