- Every group is on the board. Click a group (or press its number), then click the bank buttons that belong to it.
- When a group is full the next open one takes over. A wrong pick stays in the bank: it belongs somewhere else.
- Start with the groups you are sure of; what is left helps with the rest.
- Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.
Pick the four that belong to each group. The groups and the bank appear when you start.
About this quiz
The same first letter takes away the easy clue, so each name has to be placed on what it is. Every name comes from a list Ribbia already holds.
- A name that sits on two of the lists in play is never used, so every button has one home.
- A wrong pick fills one of that group's slots with a cross, and the item stays in the bank.
- Titles that open with "The" are filed under their next word.
