About the Game

Twenty-four words.
Six hidden
connections.

Large mode widens the board to 24 words and 6 hidden groups. More words on screen means more ways for a word to look like it belongs somewhere it doesn't, so the early moves matter far more than they do on the classic board. No daily limit, no waiting — hit "New Puzzle" the moment you finish and go again.

How to Play

Four steps to solve it

The rules are simple - the puzzle is anything but.

Study the grid

Read all twenty-four words before your first move. A word's most obvious category is often a trap.

Select four words

Tap any four words you think belong together. Selections are highlighted - you can change your mind before submitting.

Submit your guess

Hit Submit. If correct, the group is revealed in color. If not, you lose a mistake - you only have six.

Clear the board

Find all six groups before your mistakes run out. Solve with zero for a perfect score.

Tips from experienced solvers

These habits separate the veterans from the newcomers.

Beware the obvious trap

The most intuitive grouping is often wrong. Designers include red herrings - words that seem to fit one category but belong to another. Always consider alternatives.

Start with your surest bet

Submit your most confident group first. Correct answers remove words from the board, making remaining connections clearer. Don't waste early mistakes.

Think in wordplay

Many categories involve a hidden word before or after, a pun, or a double meaning. Ask yourself: "What if these all follow ___?" Think associatively, not literally.

Use the Shuffle button

Stuck? Shuffle the cards to break spatial patterns. A fresh layout sometimes sparks connections you hadn't noticed before.

Work backwards from 5

If you're confident about five words for one group, one is the impostor. Figuring out which one often cracks the whole puzzle wide open.

Guard your mistakes

You only have six before the game ends. When you hear "One away…" three of your picks were right - pause and reconsider before spending another mistake.
