While some words may fit multiple themes, there’s only one correct answer. You can shuffle the grid to better visualize the connections.
Each set is color-coded from easiest (yellow) to hardest (purple). Select four words and submit. Correct answers reveal the theme; incorrect guesses count as mistakes.
