Each puzzle consists of 16 words, arranged into four categories. These categories could encompass anything from book titles to names of nations. While several words may appear to connect, only one solution is correct.

If a player identifies all four words in a category correctly, those words are eliminated from the board. An incorrect guess is counted as a mistake — players have up to four errors before the game concludes.
