Find 4 groups of 4 items that share a hidden connection.

A practical guide to the Nexus Grid word puzzle

Nexus Grid is a word-grouping game: sixteen tiles belong to four groups, each with a connection you can describe. A connection might be a category, a shared expression, or another relationship between the words. Select four tiles and submit them together. Finding one plausible link is useful, but the complete solution has to make sense across all sixteen words.

Read the whole board before choosing

Look for a group whose four members fit equally well. Three strong matches and a fourth that needs a complicated explanation are a reason to pause. A word can suggest more than one group, so consider what your choice would leave behind. The final four tiles can help confirm whether an earlier idea was sound.

Use feedback to change the idea

A wrong submission uses an attempt. Reconsider the category rather than repeatedly changing one tile at random. You can shuffle the board to see the same words in a different arrangement, and deselect a group before submitting it. If you run out of guesses, reveal the solution and compare the intended connections with your own.
