Every puzzle consists of 16 words partitioned into four categories. These categories might encompass anything from book titles to software or names of countries. While several words may appear to fit, there is strictly one correct grouping.

If a player successfully organizes all four words in a set, those words are eliminated from the board. Making an incorrect guess counts as a mistake, with players permitted up to four errors before the game concludes.
