These arefunwords.

GOGGLE, SNOOZE, ZIP.

But what do they all mean?

Lets start with GUST, which can only be a key in of wind.

Next, what about TONG and TANG?

Food that has a TANG to it could also be said to have a KICK, or some BITE.

Maybe a little ZIP.

Its all coming together now.

And finally, we face up against the BOXER.

Thats half a pair of shorts, just like T(H?

)ONG is half a pair of flip-flops, and something similar is happening with GOGGLE and PANT.

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 give it another spin.

You win when youve correctly identified all four groups.

But if you make four mistakes before you finish, the game ends and the answers are revealed.

Expect to see overlapping groups.

So dont hit submit until youve confirmed that your group of four containsonlythose four things.

If youre stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to havenoconnection to the others.
