Word Hive

🎮 Tap words to select (up to 4), then Submit. Keyboard: Tab/arrows + Enter, S shuffle, H hint, U deselect.

16 words hide 4 groups of four. Find the connections before 4 mistakes — with built-in three-level hints, a daily board, a 10-puzzle library and endless zen shuffle.

How to play

  1. Tap four words that share a connection, then press Submit.
  2. Correct groups reveal a colored banner and leave the board; wrong guesses cost one of four lives.
  3. Close but wrong? The game tells you when you are one word away — use it to adjust.
  4. Stuck? Open the hint ladder: reveal a category, a word, or solve a whole group. Or shuffle into endless zen mode.
