3 traps on this boardShow
'Bat' and 'Echo' look like they belong with Underground Locations — Subway and Bunker are right there on this board — but here they merge into the Cave category (Stalactite · Darkness · Bat · Echo). And the word 'Cave' itself belongs to Underground Locations (Subway · Bunker · Cave · Mine) — not to the Cave category (Stalactite · Darkness · Bat · Echo).
'Butter' and 'Bucket' look like they belong with Things That Pop — Popcorn and Bubblegum are right there on this board — but here they merge into the Popcorn category (Kernel · Butter · Salt · Bucket). And the word 'Popcorn' itself belongs to Things That Pop (Popcorn · Bubblegum · Balloon · Firecracker) — not to the Popcorn category (Kernel · Butter · Salt · Bucket).
Watch out: 'Supernova' belongs to Celestial Phenomena (Supernova · Aurora · Meteor · Eclipse) — not to the Supernova category (Explosion · Star Death · Radiation · Remnant).

💡 Step 1: Clear Circus and Singer first — tight, unambiguous sets.
💡 Step 2: Work through Live Shows — no trap flags, steady elimination.
💡 Step 3: Save Cave, Underground Locations and Popcorn for last — their words overlap or share names with other groups on this board.
This board has 9 categories and 36 words — smaller than 95% of levels — and most boards allow about 10 merges, so plan for roughly 1 wrong merge of slack.
