How to solve level 316

  1. Scan all 36 tiles before moving anything and name the topics you can already see.
  2. Lock in the most obvious row first. In this level, a good starting point is Crustaceans, one of the game's most common topics.
  3. With 9 rows, expect overlapping themes. Use the Topic Hint before you use the Magic Wand.
  4. Leave the most abstract topic for last. By then it is usually the only four tiles left.
