Find four groups of four words that share a secret connection. One wrong guess costs you — choose carefully.
How to Play
- You are given a 4×4 grid of 16 words.
- Tap or click four words you believe share a hidden connection, then hit Submit.
- If correct, the group is revealed and its color displayed. If wrong, you lose one attempt.
- Find all four groups before you run out of attempts to win.
Rules
- Select exactly 4 words and tap Submit to make a guess.
- You have 4 attempts before the game ends.
- Each word belongs to exactly one group — beware of traps and misleading words.
- Groups are color-coded by difficulty: yellow (easiest) → green → blue → purple (hardest).
Tips & Strategy
- Start with the category you are most confident about — it narrows the remaining options.
- Watch out for words that seem to belong to multiple groups — that's the trap.
- Use 'One away…' feedback to refine your next guess.
- Shuffle the grid to spot hidden patterns you may have missed.
