Groups·16 (doce.games)
Sixteen words, four hidden groups of four, four mistakes allowed.
Every day: One board of sixteen words a day, the same for everyone: find the four hidden groups of four before four mistakes, against the clock. New puzzle: Midnight in your local time zone (the game picks the day's puzzle from your device's date).
Groups·16 (Grupos·16 in Spanish) is a daily word grouping puzzle from doce.games. You pick four words that belong together and submit; four mistakes end the game. The groups run from easy to misleading, and your time is your score.
About Groups·16 (doce.games)
Groups·16 puts sixteen words on the board each day, hiding four groups of four. You select four you think share a link and submit them. A right group is solved; a wrong one counts as a mistake, and four mistakes end the game.
The four groups are not equally hard: the site says one is a gift and the last one misleads, and a colour scale from easiest to hardest shows which you found. You can shuffle the board or clear your selection. The clock keeps running even if you leave, and when you finish you can see the groups, share your score or challenge someone.
It is one of the daily games on doce.games, a small site with no accounts, no ads and nothing to install, playable in Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, Italian and French. The daily games there share the same rules of the house: one try a day, the same puzzle for everyone, and a link to challenge a friend with your result.
It suits Connections players who want a timed version with the same daily board for everyone, in English or Spanish.
