About this game
Word Groups is a Connections style word sorting puzzle with a brand new Daily board for everyone at midnight UTC. Sixteen everyday words hide four secret categories, and players around the world receive the same set on the same day. Tap the four cards you think belong together and press Submit, a clean first try earns that group four stars while a near miss costs one of your four lives and one star there. Lose every life and the remaining answers open on their own. When a set was just one word away you can grab the bonus before the result screen, then share a spoiler free card showing a 4 by 4 color grid in your solve order. Every language in the game runs its own original word bank of everyday themes such as breakfast foods, things that fly, field positions or words sharing a suffix, and practice mode deals a fresh random board as often as you like. Your best score is saved on your device.
How to play
Tap four word cards that share a hidden theme, then press Submit. A perfect group lights up and stays open. A wrong pick shakes the cards and removes one life from your four, and running out of lives reveals the rest of the answers. Claim the one word away bonus, then share your color grid card.
Tips & Tricks
- Start with the most obvious category to protect the four star clean solve.
- Words that fit two themes at once are the daily spice, think twice before sending that mix.
- Use practice mode to warm up without touching the Daily board.
- Come back after midnight UTC for a brand new puzzle that the whole world sees too.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Daily puzzle the same for everyone?
Yes. The Daily board is seeded from the current UTC date, so every player on the same day gets the same sixteen words and the same four hidden categories in the same layout logic. It renews at midnight UTC.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Word Groups runs in your browser on phone and desktop, the five original language word banks live inside the game itself, and your best score is saved on your device.
