Free Word Groups Puzzle — Group 16 Words Into 4 Categories
Word Groups is our word-grouping puzzle that challenges you to find the hidden link between sets of words. You're shown 16 words and must sort them into 4 groups of 4 — but the categories can be tricky, and many words could plausibly belong to multiple groups. You have 4 lives to get it right. Our free version offers Easy, Medium and Hard puzzles with multiple sets to play — no subscription required.
How do you play Word Groups?
Select 4 words you think share a hidden connection, then press Submit. If correct, the category is revealed. If wrong, you lose a life. You have 4 lives total.
What does 'One Away' mean?
If 3 of your 4 selected words belong to the same group, you'll see a 'One Away' hint — you're close but not quite right.
Are the puzzles free?
Yes, all difficulty levels are free. Play as much as you like, no account needed. Shuffle the words, take your time, and enjoy.
