Level 255 answers with regional versions and a clear solving order.
US & GB boards
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 255 pattern
What to look for on this board
There are 6 opening categories: Roman Empire, Fluffy Things, Baby Toys, Desert, Flowers, Japanese Arts. Begin with the category whose four members feel most literal, then reassess the words left behind.
Watch the bridge tiles: Cloud, Alpaca, Teddy Bear, Down Feather, Robot, Rocket, Car, Flat Shapes, Cactus. These words become category tiles later, which explains why they may seem to fit more than one idea at first.
