How to Play

Word Groups is a word puzzle. You are shown sixteen words in a four-by-four grid. Your task is to find four groups of four words that share a hidden theme — types of fruit, things that rhyme, or words that are red, for example. Select four words you think belong together and submit them; if correct, the group is locked and removed. You are allowed only four mistakes before the puzzle ends. Themes get trickier from easy to hard.
