A new word puzzle challenges players to sort sixteen terms into four groups of four, themed around proprietary language in walled-garden tech ecosystems. The puzzle's creator notes two categories come straight from the daily news stack, one is gentler than it looks, and one has nothing to do with screens. Players are sharing hints and discussing the clever framing of platform lock-in vocabulary.

Why now: Word puzzle fans enjoy new themed grouping challenges, and the walled-garden angle ties into ongoing debate about proprietary platforms.
