Each puzzle consists of 16 words split into four groups. These groups can vary widely, including anything from book titles to software names or nations. Even though numerous words may appear connected, there exists only one right solution.

If a player accurately identifies all four words within a category, those words are eliminated from play. Incorrect guesses count as errors — players can make up to four mistakes before the game concludes.

Players have the ability to rearrange and shuffle the board to enhance their ability to make connections. Each collection is represented by a distinct color: yellow signifies the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Similar to Wordle, results can be shared with friends via social media platforms.
