Hey GrayViners!

Ready to flex those brain muscles (and maybe show off a little)?

We’re kicking off a brand new game here in The GrayVine community called Great Minds Link Alike—and it’s exactly what it sounds like!

We’ll post a short list of words, and your job is to figure out what they all have in common. It’s fun, quick, and just tricky enough to keep you thinking.️

Here’s how it works:

We’ll post a word set like this: glass mirror, & window

Now you tell us: What do these all have in common? Yep—they all reflect!

Ready to give it a try?

Here's our first challenge for you: Xerox, Kleenex, & Band-Aid

Take your best guess on what they have in common below, and we'll give a shout-out in our next afternoon newsletter. Good luck!
