What is Categories?
Categories is a daily word puzzle that challenges you to sort a grid of words into four hidden groups.
How to play Categories
Each day, you are presented with a grid of words. Your goal is to identify the four secret categories they belong to, similar to games like Connections or Conexo. Select words you believe share a common theme to form a group. The game will confirm if your grouping is correct or not. The puzzle resets daily, offering a fresh set of words and categories to discover.
Tips & strategy
- Look for words that might share a common theme, such as colors, animals, or professions.
- Start by identifying obvious connections, then work toward more subtle groupings.
- If a group is incorrect, try rearranging your selections to find alternative patterns.
