About game
Logic enthusiasts will love testing their vocabulary with the clever challenges found in Semantic Links. You face a grid of sixteen words and need to sort them into four hidden categories based on shared meanings. Sorting these terms requires careful thought because some words trick you by fitting into multiple groups. Each correct selection merges the tiles into a colored block that reveals your successful deduction. Mistakes cost you one of your three lives, so take your time before committing to a choice. This brain training puzzle keeps things fresh with millions of possible board combinations generated for your enjoyment. You can track your progress against others on global leaderboards or just aim to beat your personal best. Jump into Semantic Links directly in your browser without any downloads or installs required.
How to play
1. Carefully examine the board of 16 words.
2. Find 4 words that share a common meaning or category (for example: Oak, Birch, Pine, Maple — these are "Trees").
3. Tap on those 4 words to select them.
4. If you are correct, the words will merge into a colored block revealing the category name.
5. If you make a mistake, you will lose one of your 3 lives. Lose all lives, and you'll have to restart the level.
