Level 524 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.
