Why this answer
The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
- ONSET: has 2 vowel slots.
- BRAWL: opens with the BR consonant blend.
- TEPID: has 2 vowel slots.
- SLANG: opens with the SL consonant blend.
ONSET means the beginning or arrival of something, often an event or condition. BRAWL is a noisy fight. TEPID can describe lukewarm temperature or a response lacking enthusiasm. SLANG is informal vocabulary associated with a group or context. None of the four words repeats a letter, so the main challenge is distributing common consonants across four very different definitions.

A useful solve order
Use the distinct O/B/T/S initials to separate the boards early. TEPID has the least common vowel pattern, while BRAWL and SLANG share A and L; confirming their different endings prevents those two boards from bleeding into each other.
