How to Play Categories
Categories is the letter game a lot of families play on paper — Name Place Animal Thing, Stop, Stadt Land Fluss, Tutti Frutti, Petit Bac — played alone against the clock and scored by a fair judge. One letter a day, five categories, sixty seconds. Answers that start with the letter and fit the category score; an answer few other players found scores double.
How Categories works
Every day there is one letter and five categories, the same for every player. Press Go and a sixty-second clock starts: find an answer for each category that starts with the letter.
At the buzzer the letter is checked by the game, and a judging model rules on whether each answer fits its category. It is generous by design: an answer is thrown out only when the judge is confident it does not fit; a borderline one counts as doubtful, for half a point.
A valid answer scores one point. A rare answer — one only a few percent of today's players found — scores two. The best round is five rare answers: ten points.
Tips & Strategy
Stuck on one category? Move on and come back — every other answer is worth the same point.
The obvious answer scores 1. The one nobody else thought of scores 2.
"The Beatles" starts with B: a leading "the", "a" or "an" is ignored.
If you type several answers in one box, only the first counts.
"A city" can be any city in the world; "a food" can be a dish, a fruit or a snack. The judge accepts anything that truly fits.
