A word game uses the spinner shown in the picture below.

A colorful spinner is divided into four equal sectors, each with a letter and a distinct color. Starting from the top-left and moving clockwise, the first sector is blue with the letter $Y$Y, followed by an orange sector with the letter $H$H, a purple sector with the letter $A$A, and finally a green sector with the letter $S$S. From the center, a white arrow points to the lower right.
