The NYT‘s newest daily word game has turned into a phenomenon on social media.

Each puzzle consists of 16 words, with each set divided into four categories. These groups can include anything from book titles and software to country names. While several words may appear to fit together, only one combination is correct.

If a player correctly identifies all four words in a group, those words are eliminated from the board. An incorrect guess counts as a mistake—players have a maximum of four mistakes before the game concludes.
