What's the same
Both show clues that all belong to one hidden category, and the goal is to name the shared association rather than another example. Each wrong guess reveals the next clue, so committing early scores better.
How Nexus differs
Nexus pairs with Clusters, its four-group cousin in the same arcade, and adds a daily archive and practice rounds. It plays in the browser with no login next to twelve other puzzles.
Verdict
Pinpoint fans get the same five-clue guess in Nexus, plus a grouping cousin and an archive.
Free and the Arcade Pass
The daily board and ordinary practice are free. The optional Arcade Pass is a one-time $4.99 purchase for extra hints, a 60-day archive, and expert practice.
