Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.
The overlap is this niche: the 23 games tagged both Spelling and Typing priced under $5. 0 of 23 of them earned $100k+, against 0 of 36 for Spelling-only games and 1 of 95 for Typing-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Spelling alone and is too small to compare with Typing alone.
