Solve before you reveal

Read the board, then use only the hint you need

Match several distinctive words before following the groups. Regional boards can change spelling or a category label. 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. Some of those new tiles then open the second layer, so do not expect every answer below to appear on the starting board.
Level 1 pattern

What to look for on this board

There are 6 opening categories: Colors, Time, Animals, Fruits, Planets, Sweets. Begin with the category whose four members feel most literal, then reassess the words left behind.

Watch the bridge tiles: Cake. These words become category tiles later, which explains why they may seem to fit more than one idea at first.
