Word Categories is a word grouping puzzle inspired by the NYT Connections format. Each puzzle presents 16 words that must be sorted into four groups of four, where each group shares a common theme. The challenge lies in identifying which words belong together, especially when some words could plausibly fit multiple categories. Tricky overlaps and red herrings are deliberately included to test your lateral thinking. You have a limited number of wrong guesses before the game ends, so careful analysis before each submission is crucial. With over 30 handcrafted puzzles available, the game offers hours of engaging brain training. Categories span pop culture, vocabulary, science, wordplay, and more. Word Categories is a great daily puzzle for people who enjoy Wordle but want a different kind of word challenge.
