Groups 16

Groups 16 is a daily word sorting puzzle where your mission is to organize 16 words into 4 hidden groups of four before you make 4 mistakes. It's similar to an indie version of Connections.

You're presented with a grid of 16 words, all scrambled together. Your job is to spot the connections and group four related words at a time. Click four words you think belong together, then submit. If you're right, they lock in and clear off the board. If you're wrong, you lose one of your four lives.

• 16 words sit in front of you, waiting to be sorted.
• Select 4 words that share something in common and submit your guess.
• A correct guess locks in that group and removes it from play.
• A wrong guess costs you one of 4 mistakes. Four strikes and it's over.
• The clock starts when you begin and keeps running even if you navigate away.
• A new puzzle drops every day, the same for everyone.

Why we like it:

• ✅Fast enough to play over lunch, tricky enough to make you second guess yourself.
• ✅Straightforward, clear/clean design and gameplay.

Hint: Start with the most obvious group you can spot, even if it feels too easy. Clearing it off the board makes the trickier connections much easier to see.
