You are looking for Solitaire Associations Journey Level 1196 answers — and you have come to the right place. This Intermediate level contains 12 category groups with a combined 68 word cards to sort. Whether one group is tripping you up or you need the full answer set, every category and its matching words are revealed in the groups section below.
Solitaire Associations Journey is made by HitApps Games Ltd and challenges players to drag word cards into the correct category groups. Level 1196 falls in the Levels 1,001–1,500 collection, rated Intermediate — categories grow more abstract and some cards could plausibly fit two groups. Use our answers to verify your solution or get unstuck, then continue with the next level. The full Solitaire Associations Journey answers hub covers every level from 1 to 6,151.
Five shortcuts for when Level 1196 — or any level — leaves you stumped.
Start with the obvious group. Every level has at least one category where all the words are immediately clear. Lock that in first to shrink the pool — this applies from Level 1 through the hardest levels in the archive.
Watch for misleading words. HitApps often plants a word that seems to belong to two groups. If you are unsure where a card goes, save it for last and let the confirmed groups eliminate it by exclusion.
Think abstractly. Category names in Solitaire Associations Journey can include unexpected answers — a group labelled "Things that run" might cover rivers, noses, or software. Do not read a name too literally.
Use the word count. Each group shows exactly how many words belong to it. If a category needs 8 words and you have found fewer, one of your other placements is wrong — backtrack before going further.
Verify with this page when you stall. Every group and word card for Level 1196 is displayed above. You can also open the Levels 1,001–1,500 range page to jump to a nearby level or the full Solitaire Associations Journey hub for all 6,151 levels.
The order that clears a board fastest.
Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.
Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.
