screenrant.com:

If you are struggling with today's puzzle, just take a breath and use these hints and tricks we've prepared for you. Today's puzzle has some interesting overlaps with words that all seem like they could go together, which makes it difficult to sort out what belongs in which category. It also makes it harder to determine what the categories themselves are.

If you like you will also like the NYT's puzzle. We all love a good crossword, and thisone is short and sweet and does not expect you to have to spend an hour to solve it. It is a great way to feel accomplished and make you feel good about your dictionary and cultural knowledge. And tomorrow there will be another new puzzle along with the daily.

Wordle is a simple daily word game that has taken the internet by storm. With only 6 chances to get the right answer, players may need a little help.

As these categories are a bit tricky to figure out, we have a few hints for you to try to get them on your own. Today has two pairs of categories that could be seen as overlapping, which makes it even more tricky to separate them, so if these hints do not help, we have more to follow.

The tricky part of these categories is the number of animal-related words, as well as the fact that the first two categories are not as intermixed but do have some words that have different definitions that can go with either. However, knowing the category names will help you start to differentiate them and hopefully solve the puzzle on your own.

RUSH OF WIND

ROTATE

ZODIAC SYMBOLS

DR. SUESS TITLE FIGURES

RUSH OF WIND

BLOW

DRAFT

GUST

PUFF

While most of these words are unlikely to be mistaken for the «Rotate» category, WIND is quite confusing. If you are not sure what the next category is, this can cause some confusion as DRAFT does have multiple meanings and could be seen in a different context. However, GUST, PUFF, and BLOW are all fairly similar and can help you figure out that this category is actually about how wind moves.
