How to play
- A group of words shares a category. You see one word to start.
- Pick the category from four choices. Every wrong guess reveals another word, up to five.
- The fewer clues you need, the fewer mistakes you make.
- The clock starts on your first tap and your time is saved. Every day has the same quiz for everyone.
Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.
Tips and strategy
- The first word is the vaguest. Do not commit if two categories could fit.
- Think of the thing all the words are examples of.
- A word can belong to several categories, so wait for the next clue if unsure.
- Use the last words for certainty: they are the most obvious.

- Up to five, one more after each wrong guess.
