Do you ever notice that sometimes the puzzles have a fifth pseudo-category, which almost serves like a theme of the puzzle, but in truth each entry is actually part of the other categories? I had that in my first row. What is your strategy to avoid getting this?
No, I've never noticed that. I have once or twice noticed a fifth oseudo-category with one from each of the other categories, but I've never noticed that it serves as the puzzle theme. (And even more commonly there are distraction categories that are made up of only 2 or 3 other categories.)
My strategy to avoiding it is to try and solve the whole puzzle before entering any results. There are often distraction categories, but there's only ever one way to get 4 groups of 4. (I've seen people claim otherwise, but they've never shown me an example.) Using Connections Copilot is a good way to help with that.
