Learn how to play Queen's Order: sort 16 words into 4 hidden groups, avoid using all 4 mistakes, and uncover the Queen Group before the puzzle ends.
Find the 4 hidden groups in a board of 16 words. Every correct group contains exactly 4 related words.
Look for four words that clearly belong together. Every solved group clears space on the board and makes the remaining categories easier to spot.
Tap words to build a group of four. You can change your picks before you submit if a set stops feeling right.
You get 4 mistakes total. If you use them all before solving every group, the puzzle ends and the remaining answers are revealed.
Each Queen's Order puzzle includes one special category called the Queen Group. You do not see it in advance. You discover it by solving it like any other group.
Treat the Queen Group as the category that usually asks for the sharpest read of the board. If you cannot see it early, solve the clearest sets first and let the remaining words narrow the possibilities.
One obvious group can break open the puzzle. Removing those words makes the tougher connections easier to judge.
Some words are meant to tempt you into the wrong set. If one word seems to belong in two places, test the rest of the group before you submit.
The Queen Group often becomes easier to read after you lock in the straightforward categories and remove the obvious distractions.
