Categories add a theme to each round, encouraging players to write phrases that relate to a specific topic. They’re optional but add an extra layer of creativity and challenge.

How Categories Work

When categories are enabled, a category name appears alongside the acronym letters. Players should try to make their phrase relate to the category theme. For example, with the letters M · R · T and the category Movies, you might write:
Mr. Rogers Triumphant
