Match Wall
Sixteen tiles hiding four groups of four. Nothing tells you what the groups are — finding them is the question.
What makes it hard
The sets are built so that several tiles look like they belong to two groups at once. Solving it usually means finding the group you are certain of and working outwards.

What the clues give you
Each group has a hint describing what its four have in common, and a trap is marked with the reason it is a trap.
