This was a fun game even if I did find it quite taxing.

My first mistake was thinking that GREAT WHITE indicated that there was a group of sharks — HARBOR and BULL sounded possible, so I added BENES as a possible fourth. BULL and GREAT WHITE are correct of course and a Google search told me Ben’s Shark is a thing!
