Each puzzle features 16 words, segmented into four categories. These groups can range from book titles to names of software or countries. Even though many words might appear to fit together, only one correct grouping is available.

If a player successfully identifies all four words in a category, those words will be cleared from the board. Incorrect guesses are treated as errors—players are allowed to make up to four mistakes before the game concludes.
