    Don’t like the categories and choices in this one.

    spoiler

    Kid is a baby goat. Shoulder is a cut of meat, as is rib. The poultry part kills those two, but it was a confusing overlap in basic concept.

      Yeah, that’s the idea with this game. Distractors, either in the form of a 5th potential category (that usually only has 2 or 3 possible entries), or words that can smoothly fit into 2 or more categories, are what make this an actual challenge. But there’s only 1 possible way to solve the whole puzzle with 4 categories of 4. (Or at least, there should be. It would be a failed design if there are two different ways to finish the whole thing.)

      I get what you’re saying, but that’s often the point. The goal is finding four groups of four, not just four words that relate.
