If the player asks you to sign in, open the video on YouTube instead.

Merge the four cat portraits holding ice cream; Cats with Ice Creams clears first.
Merge the gift, birthday cake, number-3 balloon, and red balloon; Birthday Party clears second.
Merge the brown-bob woman, the pink-bob woman, the black-bob woman with round glasses, and the gray cat portrait; each has straight forehead bangs, and Characters with Bangs clears at 3/8.
Merge the four tank and bowl designs; Aquariums clears at 4/8.
Merge the four window designs, including the arched window; Windows clears at 5/8.
Merge the perfume, lipstick, tabletop mirror, and manicured nails; Women's Care clears at Move 21 and 6/8.
Merge the mouse in a blue patterned bandana, the smiling person in a red bandana and white shirt, the dark-skinned bearded person in a red-and-green bandana and black tank top, and the late-revealed bearded person in a pink bandana and gray vest; Characters with Bandanas clears at 7/8.
Merge the pink betta, spotted fish, gold fish, and silver-red fish; Fish clears the board at 8/8.

Treating every portrait with forehead detail as one group mixes bangs with bandanas.
Using a fish icon in the aquarium cluster prevents both four-member object groups from completing.

Reserve every bandana wearer until all four appear, because hairstyle and headwear groups overlap visually.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: Move opens at 45 with 0/8. Cat and human portraits overlap hairstyle and headwear traits beside birthday, aquarium, window, beauty-care, and fish objects.
Goal: Clear Cats with Ice Creams, Birthday Party, Characters with Bangs, Aquariums, Windows, Women's Care, Characters with Bandanas, and Fish, finishing at Move 21.
Opening: Gather the four ice-cream cat portraits first, then combine the gift, cake, number-3 balloon, and red balloon.
Danger Zone: Bangs and bandanas are separate appearance rules, and the ice-cream cats must not enter either portrait group.
Mechanics: Earlier clears expose late members; the category bubbles confirm the intended four-member partition.
