Each puzzle contains 16 words, categorized into four groups. These groups can involve anything from book titles to software or country names. Even if several words seem compatible, there’s solely one right answer.

If a player successfully finds all four words in a group, those words are removed from the board. Incorrect guesses are considered mistakes — players can make up to four errors before the game concludes.
