Solve before you reveal
Read the board, then use only the hint you need
Check the version label and match several distinctive words before following the groups. Tile positions can change, so compare distinctive words rather than their placement.
How this level unfoldsThe opening board contains 6 four-word groups. Each solved group becomes a category tile, and 7 later groups use those new tiles.
Level 495 pattern
What to look for on this board
There are 6 opening categories: The Bible, The Conquistadors, Natural Disasters, Political Ideologies, Water Activities, Painter. Begin with the category whose four members feel most literal, then reassess the words left behind.
Watch the bridge tiles: Earthquake, Tsunami, Diving, Aquatics, Colors, Artists, Artistics. These words become category tiles later, which explains why they may seem to fit more than one idea at first.
