In three steps

1. 01

   Spot the groups

   16 words, 4 hidden connections. Tap four words you think belong together.

2. 02

   Mind the traps

   Some words seem to fit several groups. "One away" means three are right, one isn't. Four wrong tries and it's over.

3. 03

   Harder gets colourful

   Apricot is easy, pomegranate is tricky — often a play on words, an idiom, or a false friend. Share your result as an emoji grid.

From the DSJ's German-as-a-foreign-language department — vocabulary, word fields and idioms wrapped in a game. The words stay German throughout.
