About this game
Sixteen words, four secret groups of four. Each group shares a hidden connection — a category, a theme, or a wordplay twist (like 'words that precede STONE'). Pick four words you think belong together and submit; get it right and the group locks in with its colour, from yellow (easiest) to purple (trickiest). The catch is overlap: some words seem to fit several groups, so the safe-looking guess isn't always right. You can make four mistakes before the game ends. Everyone gets the same puzzle each day; solve it to grow your streak and share a spoiler-free colour grid.
How a round goes
The sixteen tiles might include APPLE, MANGO, PEACH, GRAPE (fruits) and GOOGLE, ORACLE, INTEL (tech companies). ORACLE could be a myth or a company — that overlap is the whole trap. Lock in the group you're most certain of first (the fruits), submit it, and the leftovers make the trickier groups easier to spot.

Frequently asked questions
Is it the same puzzle for everyone?
Yes — the sixteen words and their four groups are fixed by the date, so every player faces the identical board that day. It resets to a new puzzle at midnight your time.
What does 'one away' mean?
It means three of the four words you picked belong to the same group, but one doesn't — a near miss to help you adjust.
