PUZZLE #321: The Block List 3

PUZZLE #321
THE BLOCK LIST 3

In each numbered row of squares, fill in the squares of each color with one of the given words below from the set of that color, keeping the letters in their original order, so that the entire row spells out a single longer word. However, you have to figure out what each smaller, color-coded word is based on the clues given.

Once you're done with the first four rows, enter the letters of the remaining words into the last row of squares similarly to spell out the FINAL ANSWER: a sports team whose name is more than one word.


RED WORDS
• _____-de-sac
• Brand of soap that contains ground pumice
• Number between siete and nueve
• Color of this very set

BLUE WORDS
• "Water, water everywhere, _____ any drop to drink"
• Unwritten exam
• Hamton from Tiny Toon Adventures, for one
• Part of ICU or SVU

GREEN WORDS
• Blatantly obvious one-sidedness in bad journalism
• Bill Walsh or Bill Belichick, e.g.
• Number of personified emotions in Pixar's Inside Out
The Girl on the _____ (best-selling novel from 2015)

ORANGE WORDS
• "What Have I _____ to Deserve This?" (Pet Shop Boys song)
Sunset Boulevard character who claims "I am big. It's the pictures that got small"
• Pause between musical notes
• Evil organization led by Carmen Sandiego (or an apt anagram for "Evil")

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
