The game is designed to test sports knowledge by grouping 16 words into four categories, each containing four related words. The categories, featured in different colors (yellow, green, blue, and purple), range from DC sports teams to Georges, nicknames of NFL cornerbacks, and dribbling techniques. Players can rearrange and shuffle the board to aid in identifying connections. They are allowed up to four incorrect guesses before the game ends. A hint for today's game is provided, categorizing the words as DC Sports Teams, Georges, Nicknames of NFL Cornerbacks, and Dribbling techniques.",
