• Why you should never shuffle the board
false

TL;DR: get in the head of the puzzle maker and use that information to your advantage.

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about shuffling the board at the start because of things the puzzle does to throw you off. While I understand the sentiment behind this, I think it’s foolish to shuffle the board because if you take the logic one step further you can use the information to your advantage.

Very often there will be words that fit together placed right next to each other and that’s usually a sign that those words will NOT be in the same category. The most egregious example that comes to mind is “SPONGE” “BOB” “SQUARE” “PANTS” occupying the top row of the board one day. When I saw that I immediately knew those wouldn’t be a category. Another one was when they did 4 camera brands smack dab in the center (though one was actually not quite a camera brand - the word was “Fuji” rather than “Fujifilm” which is the actual brand name).

On the contrary, today many people thought “hook” “line” and “sinker” would be a red herring and I thought that for a moment too but when I saw that the words were NOT placed right next to each other it made me realize they likely were actually part of the category. And I knew “rod” wouldn’t go with it since that word described the category as a whole (those are all parts of a fishing ROD so rod itself won’t go in the category).

Just thought I’d share as it seems like a lot of people struggled with today’s where having this additional insight would have provided a lot of clarity.
