THRILL, KICK, BALL, and BLAST could all refer to things that are exciting.

Youll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase.
Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common.
Select four items and hit the Submit button.
If you guessed correctly, the category and color will be revealed.
(Yellow is easiest, followed by green, then blue, then purple.)
If your guess was incorrect, youll get a chance to have another go.
You win when youve correctly identified all four groups.
