How to approach the puzzle
The board contains 16 words arranged into four groups of four. Look for a shared connection among four words, but watch for overlaps: a word may seem to fit more than one possible theme. If a pattern is hard to see, shuffle the board to change the words’ positions. A wrong group counts as a mistake; Mashable’s game guide reports that players can make up to four mistakes before the game ends. Mashable via Yahoo Entertainment
