    Don’t like the categories and choices in this one.

    spoiler

    Kid is a baby goat. Shoulder is a cut of meat, as is rib. The poultry part kills those two, but it was a confusing overlap in basic concept.

      I get what you’re saying, but that’s often the point. The goal is finding four groups of four, not just four words that relate.

      Yeah, that’s the idea with this game. Distractors, either in the form of a 5th potential category (that usually only has 2 or 3 possible entries), or words that can smoothly fit into 2 or more categories, are what make this an actual challenge. But there’s only 1 possible way to solve the whole puzzle with 4 categories of 4. (Or at least, there should be. It would be a failed design if there are two different ways to finish the whole thing.)

    Somehow I saw this one right away. It took me about ten seconds to complete. First one ever to come easy.

    A slightly trickier one. Had to throw it into Copilot to test out my solution and take some educated guesses to get it out from there.
