3 traps on this boardShow
'Hammer' and 'Chisel' look like they belong with Crafts — Carpentry and Pottery are right there on this board — but here they merge into the Carpentry category (Saw · Hammer · Chisel · Plane). And the word 'Carpentry' itself belongs to Crafts (Carpentry · Pottery · Weaving · Sculpture) — not to the Carpentry category (Saw · Hammer · Chisel · Plane).
'Glacier' and 'Cliff' look like they belong with Landscapes — Jungle and Desert are right there on this board — but here they merge into the Mountain category (Summit · Trail · Cliff · Glacier). And the word 'Mountain' itself belongs to Landscapes (Jungle · Desert · Mountain · Canyon) — not to the Mountain category (Summit · Trail · Cliff · Glacier).
Watch out: 'Babylon' belongs to Ancient Cities (Troy · Babylon · Athens · Pompeii) — not to the Babylon category (Ishtar Gate · Hanging Gardens · Mesopotamia · Esagila Temple).

💡 Step 1: Clear Islands and Crafts first — tight, unambiguous sets.
💡 Step 2: Work through the remaining 5 categories — no trap flags, steady elimination.
💡 Step 3: Save Carpentry, Mountain and Landscapes for last — their words overlap or share names with other groups on this board.
This board has 12 categories and 48 words — bigger than 53% of levels — and most boards allow about 10 merges, so plan for roughly 1 wrong merge of slack.

Why Level 45 is the most-searched level in the game
The game's single most-Googled level earns it: six of its twelve
categories share a name with a word that belongs somewhere else —
and two of those words (Athens, Babylon) sit inside the very first
category, baiting you on move one.
The word
It begs to go in
It actually belongs in
Athens
Athens (Acropolis · Parthenon · Agora · Socrates)
Ancient Cities (Troy · Babylon · Pompeii)
Babylon
Babylon (Ishtar Gate · Hanging Gardens · Esagila)
Ancient Cities
Desert
Desert (Oasis · Dunes · Mirage · Cactus)
Landscapes (Jungle · Mountain · Canyon)
Mountain
Mountain (Summit · Trail · Cliff · Glacier)
Landscapes
Carpentry
Carpentry (Saw · Hammer · Chisel · Plane)
Crafts (Pottery · Weaving · Sculpture)
The order that survives: Ancient Cities first — park
Athens and Babylon there, and their monument categories lose all bait.
Then the landscape trio (Desert/Mountain stay words, Jungle/Desert/
Mountain/Canyon the set) sorts itself. Dinosaurs and Street Food are
free points. And if your board opens with Petra instead of Athens —
you're on version v6; the quick version match above confirms it in one
glance.
