Four of a Kind: Word Links

Four of a Kind is a cosy word puzzle game set in a little café. Sixteen words sit on your table, and four hidden groups belong together. Can you spot them all, one brew at a time? Each puzzle is a word grouping challenge. A group might be things you find in a kitchen, words that come before the same word, or synonyms for one idea. The clues are not always obvious, and that is the fun. Some groups hide in plain sight, and a few words could fit two groups. Work out which one they really belong to. HOW TO PLAY • Tap four words you think belong together, then press Submit. • Each group you find lands on the table as a coloured band, easiest first. • Four mugs are your mistakes. Lose them all and the brew is over, unless you ask for one more. • Stuck? Nudge gives a gentle hint, Pair lights up two words from one group, and Serve reveals a whole group. • Some puzzles have bigger groups of five to seven words, so keep your eyes open. WHAT'S INSIDE • A campaign of word puzzles that starts gently and gets harder, one puzzle at a time. • A new daily puzzle every day, with a streak to keep alive. Miss a day and the streak starts again. • A short tutorial with three guided puzzles, so you learn the rules before the first brew. • Stars for solving with few mistakes. Solve with no mistakes at all for three stars. • The Fact Jar, with a small fact to read while you wait for your next brew. • Day and night café looks, plus a Relaxed mode for more forgiving play. • A campaign leaderboard for signed-in players, to see how you compare. MEET PIP Pip is the café fox. Pip cheers you on, tells you when a puzzle is about to be tricky, and points out when two words go together. Pip also makes the cocoa on a late night. WHO IT'S FOR If you love word games, word puzzles, word grouping puzzles or relaxing brain teasers, this is for you. It's quick to pick up, easy to put down, and gentle enough for a short break or a long evening with a warm drink. FREE TO PLAY Four of a Kind is free to download and play. Ads appear between puzzles and when you ask for a hint. You are never shown an ad in the middle of a puzzle.
