Despite the challenging nature, only one correct grouping exists within each set.

Achieving a correct set results in the elimination of those words from the puzzle, while an incorrect guess is marked as a mistake – up to four mistakes are allowed before the game concludes. For an additional layer of strategy, players can shuffle or rearrange words, facilitating the discovery of connections. Much like popular word games, players can proudly share results with their friends.
