3 traps on this boardShow
'Ring' and 'Bar' look like they belong with Valuables — Gold and Silver are right there on this board — but here they merge into the Gold category (Ring · Nugget · Coin · Bar). And the word 'Gold' itself belongs to Valuables (Gold · Silver · Diamond · Ruby) — not to the Gold category (Ring · Nugget · Coin · Bar).
'Cinnamon' and 'Paprika' look like they belong with Pantry Items — Spices and Flour are right there on this board — but here they merge into the Spices category (Cinnamon · Cumin · Paprika · Turmeric). And the word 'Spices' itself belongs to Pantry Items (Spices · Flour · Sugar · Oil) — not to the Spices category (Cinnamon · Cumin · Paprika · Turmeric).
Watch out: 'Seatbelt' belongs to Safety (Airbag · Seatbelt · Abs · Headrest) — not to the Seatbelt category (Buckle · Strap · Latch · Click).

💡 Step 1: Clear Spices and Wrestling first — tight, unambiguous sets.
💡 Step 2: Work through the remaining 10 categories — no trap flags, steady elimination.
💡 Step 3: Save Gold, Valuables and Pantry Items for last — their words overlap or share names with other groups on this board.
This board has 17 categories and 68 words — bigger than 98% of levels — and most boards allow about 10 merges, so plan for roughly 1 wrong merge of slack.
