{"game":"quartets","name":"Quartets","description":"Similar to the popular game Connections. Sort sixteen words into four hidden groups of four, watching out for red herrings, with only four mistakes allowed.","kind":"finite","rules_html":"\n    <p>Sixteen words hide <b>four groups of four</b>. Each group shares something specific: a category (types of cheese), a word pattern (words that come before FISH), hidden words, sound-alikes and so on. Every word belongs to exactly one group, and there is exactly one correct solution. Expect <b>red herrings</b>: words that seem to fit more than one group.</p>\n    <p>Groups have difficulty colors: <b>Yellow</b> (most straightforward), <b>Green</b>, <b>Blue</b> and <b>Purple</b> (trickiest, often wordplay).</p>\n    <p>Submit four words you think form a group. If they do, the group is revealed with its category and removed from the board. If three of your four words belong to the same group, you're told you are <b>one away</b>. A wrong group costs a mistake; the game ends after <b>4 mistakes</b>. Repeating an earlier wrong guess is rejected for free. When three groups are solved, the last four words complete the puzzle automatically.</p>\n    <p>Word order doesn't matter, and case is ignored. You can also <code>resign</code>. All groups are revealed when the game ends.</p>\n    <p><b>Score:</b> 25 points per group solved, plus a 25-point bonus for solving all four, minus 10 points per mistake, never below 0. A perfect game scores 125.</p>","commands":[{"syntax":"guess <word> <word> <word> <word>","description":"Submit a group of four words, separated by spaces or commas.
