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.
What to look for on this board
There are 6 opening categories: Digital Things, Fictional Things, Heavy Things, Fast Things, Door, Refreshing Drinks. Begin with the category whose four members feel most literal, then reassess the words left behind.
Watch the bridge tiles: Data, Westeros, Anchor, Truck, Farmmachinery, Horseracing, Motorbike. These words become category tiles later, which explains why they may seem to fit more than one idea at first.
