'Butter' and 'Cheese' look like they belong with Grocery Store Sections — Bakery and Dairy Products are right there on this board — but here they merge into the Dairy Products category (Butter · Cheese · Cream · Yogurt). And the word 'Dairy Products' itself belongs to Grocery Store Sections (Bakery · Dairy Products · Deli · Pharmacy) — not to the Dairy Products category (Butter · Cheese · Cream · Yogurt).
'Tiger' and 'Elephant' each appear in 10+ different categories across the game — here both go to the Zoo Animals category.
'Butter' and 'Cheese' each appear in 11+ different categories across the game — here both go to the Dairy Products category.

💡 Step 1: Clear Museum and Conflict first — tight, unambiguous sets.
💡 Step 2: Work through the remaining 8 categories — no trap flags, steady elimination.
💡 Step 3: Save Dairy Products and Grocery Store Sections 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.
