WORD GAME GUIDE
How to Play Word Groups: Rules and Scoring
Find the four categories that organize all sixteen words into sets of four.
Controls and allowed moves
Select four tiles, then choose Submit group. A correct set moves off the board and shows its category. You can clear your selection or shuffle the remaining words without using a turn. The game ends when you solve every group or make four mistakes.
Solving strategy
Start with four words that fit a precise category. If you can name five candidates, test other categories before committing. Four types of pasta is stronger than four things in a kitchen.
Worked example
WHISK, LADLE, TONGS and GRATER form a set of kitchen tools. A word like LADLE can also be a verb. The other three words make the tool meaning the better fit here.
Common mistakes
A one-away message means three selected words belong to a single unsolved group. Keep the three with the clearest connection and replace the fourth. Trying the same set again does not use another mistake.
Daily score calculation
Each correct group earns 250 points. Three groups earn 750. The four-mistake limit controls how long you can play. It does not deduct points from groups you already solved.
