🖼️ Picture groups

This level has 3 picture groups. Solve the smaller group first; it collapses into a single picture tile that you then place in the bigger topic. How picture groups work.

CONTINENTS🖼️ EARTHPLANETS

Solve Continents and the four tiles turn into a picture of EARTH. That picture then counts as a word in Planets.

Planet Earth — the four tiles are continents.

UMBRELLA FEATURES🖼️ UMBRELLAWEATHER GEAR

Solve Umbrella Features and the four tiles turn into a picture of UMBRELLA. That picture then counts as a word in Weather Gear.

An umbrella — the four tiles are parts of one.

CROWN FEATURES🖼️ CROWNROYALTY

Solve Crown Features and the four tiles turn into a picture of CROWN. That picture then counts as a word in Royalty.

A royal crown — the four tiles are related to royalty.

How to solve level 494

  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 Planets, one of the game's most common topics.
  3. Solve the picture groups early. Each one frees up a slot in its umbrella topic.
  4. With 9 rows, expect overlapping themes. Use the Topic Hint before you use the Magic Wand.
  5. Leave the most abstract topic for last. By then it is usually the only four tiles left.
