Fourword is a free daily word puzzle: 16 words hide 4 secret categories, stacked in test tubes. Pour words between tubes — same-category words link up when they touch, and stacking all 4 of a kind clears the group. One word each day is a 🪤 trap that looks like it belongs somewhere it doesn't. Think NYT Connections meets Water Sort: the "aha" of finding word groups, with spatial trial-and-error instead of guess-and-check — and no way to lose, only more steps against Par.
When is the next puzzle? Every midnight, your local time. Same puzzle worldwide, so results are comparable — share your emoji grid without spoiling.
