Each puzzle has 16 words and each group of words is divided into four categories. These sets may include book titles, software, country names, etc. Even if several words seem to fit together, there is only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words from a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake: players make up to four mistakes until the end of the game.
