| Barley | Crops | Grains (level 49) |

How to solve level 497
- Scan all 36 tiles before moving anything and name the topics you can already see.
- Lock in the most obvious row first. In this level, a good starting point is Insects, one of the game's most common topics.
- With 9 rows, expect overlapping themes. Use the Topic Hint before you use the Magic Wand.
- Leave the most abstract topic for last. By then it is usually the only four tiles left.
