Each puzzle comprises 16 words, categorized into four groups. These categories may contain book titles, software names, country titles, and more. Although several words may appear to fit, there is only one correct combination.

If a player successfully identifies all four words in a category, those words are eliminated from the board. An incorrect guess is counted as a mistake — players can afford up to four wrong answers before the game concludes.

Players are allowed to rearrange and shuffle the board to uncover connections more effectively. Each group is color-coded, starting with yellow for the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Similar to Wordle, you can share your results with friends on social media.
