The NYT's daily word game is a social media hit. It was created by Wyna Liu and can be played on web browsers and mobile devices.

Each puzzle has 16 words and four categories. The categories can be book titles, software, or country names.

If you get all four words in a set right, they are removed from the board. If you guess wrong, it counts as a mistake.

You can rearrange the board to make spotting connections easier. Each group is color-coded, with yellow being the easiest.

Want a hint about the categories without being told what they are?

Yellow is about tech accessories.

Green is about being crammed.

Blue is about chemical spills.

Purple is about frequent flyers.
