About Categlorious

Categlorious puts a twist on the group-the-words format. Instead of four groups of four, there are four categories of exactly three words, and one word is shared by every category. That link word sits in all four groups, so the board is smaller than it looks and the link word is the key to all of it. A sample board might hold words like ACTION, PIECE, COPY, SHARE, NUMBER, PASTE, SINGLE and CAMERA around one word that connects them.

You select three words and submit. A correct category changes colour, and the link word takes on the colours of every category you have found so far. Four wrong guesses end the game.

Scoring adds a layer on top. Solving all four categories earns points, and badges add more: a flawless victory with no mistakes, Eagle eye for making the link word your first tap, A glorious start for beginning every guess with it, Rainbow road for solving from hardest to easiest, and bonuses for solving the hardest colours first. The puzzle is one of many daily word and logic games on Greatest Games.

Categlorious suits Connections players who want a quicker board with an extra deduction at its centre.
