How to use Category Mode

  • The group decides whether the category changes each round or each turn.
  • At the start of each round or turn, reveal a category.
  • The primary word formed during a turn must fit the chosen category. Additional words formed during the same turn may be any valid word.
  • Formed words must still comply with PUZZINGO™ rules.
  • Any challenge to whether a word fits the category is resolved by a group vote.
  • Players may use the same word multiple times.
  • When using the PUZZINGO™ online Scoreboard, your group may enable the Category Word Suggestion tool, which gives each player a limited number of opportunities to receive suggested words based on the selected category, their rack letters, and any letters already on the table they choose to use.
