- Yellow (musical instruments)- TAMBOURINE, THEREMIN, TIMPANI, TROMBONE
- Green (Knicknack)- TCHOTCHKE, THINGAMJIG, TRIFLE, TRINKET

In the yellow category, the easiest words to figure out are “Trombone” and “Tambourine” since they are pretty common musical instruments. Then, looking at “Theremin” and seeing how similar it sounds to Trombone and Tambourine should also help easily figure that word out. Then, it’s a matter of trial and error till one arrives at “Timpani.”
Meanwhile, in the green category, “Trifle” and “Trinket” are the easiest words to obtain. Then it’s trial and error till one gets the other two words.
The blue category is surprisingly easy to solve if one thinks deeply enough. However, it can be tricky since there are two green category words also starting with “TRI.”
The purple category is best left for last; after all other words are solved, only four words start with “T” remain.
