blue group · The short answer
SOCIAL MEDIA SECTIONS
Each puzzle word passes the same exact test. The four mappings show how the answer works.
A FEED is the section where a service presents a continuing stream of posts, media or updates.
MESSAGES labels the section used to view and manage direct communications with other accounts.
NOTIFICATIONS identifies the section containing alerts about activity, updates and interactions.
A PROFILE section presents an account’s identifying details, public information and associated activity.
Why this group was difficult
- The labels are not exclusive to social media
MESSAGES and NOTIFICATIONS appear throughout digital products, while PROFILE can describe a person outside any interface. - FEED has a strong everyday verb sense
Its ordinary food-related meaning can conceal its role as the label for a continuously updated content section. - Interfaces do not use identical layouts
The category relies on recognizable section names rather than claiming that every service displays all four in the same way.
How to spot this pattern next time
Imagine the main navigation of an online account and ask whether each word could label a destination rather than merely describe something found there.
Do not require one particular app layout. Test whether all four work as broadly recognizable social media section names across common interfaces.
Four useful facts behind the group
- A FEED commonly presents a changing sequence of posts or updates.
- MESSAGES provides access to direct communications between accounts.
- NOTIFICATIONS collects alerts generated by events or interactions.
- A PROFILE presents information associated with a particular account.
