PUZZLE #564: The Block List 7

PUZZLE #564
THE BLOCK LIST 7

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 long-running reality show whose title is more than one word.


RED WORDS
• Bubsy, for one (HINT: He starts out his first video game with nine lives)
Frankenweenie director and The Nightmare Before Christmas producer Burton
• Kellogg–Briand _____ (peace treaty that has nothing to do with cereal)
• Landform that follows "Blueberry" or "Bunker"

BLUE WORDS
• Egyptian city where the Great Sphinx is located
• Sorts (answer hidden in MILKSHAKES)
• The "D" in the racing abbreviation "DNF"
• "_____ Way You Want It" (Journey single certified four times platinum in 2024)

GREEN WORDS
• Area of a cow where a T-bone steak is chopped out of
• Climbing plant that Tarzan may climb up
• Rank for Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan in M*A*S*H
• "Time _____ all wounds"

ORANGE WORDS
• 1995 animated film about a sled dog involved in 1925's serum run to Nome
• Holiest of holy cities in Islam
• Jasmine _____ (grain grown in Thailand)
• To whom Robin Hood gives after he steals from the rich

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, 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 even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) 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!
