Each challenge features 16 words segmented into four groups. These categories may encompass items ranging from book titles to software and country names. Even though several words may appear linked, only one valid solution exists.

If a player successfully identifies all four words in a category, those terms are cleared from the board. An incorrect attempt is considered a fault—players can make up to four errors before the game concludes.
