The goal

Sort sixteen words into four hidden groups of four that share something in common.

Playing

Tap four words you think belong together, then tap Submit (or press Enter).
A right guess locks the group in at the top with its category and color.
Shuffle reorders the words to help you spot links. Deselect all clears your picks (or press Escape).

Mistakes

You can make four mistakes. On the fourth the game ends and every group is revealed.
“One away…” means three of your four words belong together.
Guessing the same four words twice doesn’t cost a mistake.

Groups

Colors run from easiest (green) through orange and purple to trickiest (red).
Watch for words that seem to fit two groups: each word belongs to exactly one.
Tricky groups are often wordplay, like words before “ball” or a hidden smaller word.
Your best time is kept. A new puzzle won’t repeat until you’ve played them all.
