Peel it back
Layers works best when you treat the mini-games as clues for the final board, not as separate puzzles. Unlock those words first, then sort the whole set.
The four mini-games each unlock a word that belongs on the final board, so start there before forcing category guesses.
A word can look like it belongs in more than one group. Use the category titles only after the mini-game answers narrow the board.
The hardest Layers group often uses a fill-in-the-blank or wordplay pattern, so it is easier once the cleaner sets are removed.
The Wordle, anagram, crossword, and word-search answers are not separate extras; they are part of the final 16-word solve.
