About:
A clean word-categorization puzzle in the well-known group-four-words-by-hidden-category style. Shipped under a distinct title to avoid trading on the newspaper puzzle's trademarked name. The published static export was broken (root-absolute Next.js asset paths 404ing under a subpath) and was fixed here by rebuilding with the project's own basePath export option. Tap-to-select and submit were verified against live page state on both touch and mouse.

Phone check: 2026-09-07: fixed a broken static export (Next.js root-absolute asset paths 404ing under this subpath) by rebuilding with basePath configured correctly, then confirmed tap-to-select and submit work correctly by touch (390x844 CDP dispatch) and mouse - selecting four words enabled Submit, and submitting a wrong guess correctly decremented the mistake counter, on both platforms.
