Sixteen words hide four groups of four, with one shared board and four shared lives. Anybody may press, which is why it is a conversation. 1 to 8 people, about 10 minutes.
One board and one set of lives for the whole table, so it is a conversation rather than sixteen people typing. The quiet person who has spotted it has to be asked, which is a very good thing to build into ten minutes on a Friday.
The puzzles are written to a rule the original does not have to keep: nothing here needs a particular accent, a particular country, or a childhood spent watching the right television. At a table with four nationalities on it that is the difference between a game and a quiz.
