Wordle 809 (Sept 6) ***SPOILERS***

[nuxvomica]

18. it's a new daily game

It was in beta for a while but recently went live. You are given 16 words that you have to select in groups of four that are connected in multifarious ways, so let's say it includes these eight words:

DOG
CAT
GOLDFISH
TURTLE
PONY
SCREW
ONE
DUST

You might think DOG CAT GOLDFISH TURTLE and PONY are all pets but which four out of five should you choose? Well, you figure out there's a group of words that are "____-UP" so PONY SCREW ONE and DUST fit in that group and that tells you the pets group is DOG CAT GOLDFISH and TURTLE.
