How to play

  1. Sixteen words hide four groups of four that share a link: "Pets", "Hidden numbers", "___ball"…
  2. Pick four words and submit. Right: the group locks in with its colour. Wrong: you lose one of your four mistakes.
  3. Groups go from yellow (easiest) to purple (trickiest), and some words seem to fit two groups.
  4. Race: everyone solves the same board alone, fewer mistakes and a faster finish score more. Team: one shared board, and a guess goes in once half the team agrees.
