# Red Herring Roulette
A word categorization puzzle game inspired by NYT Connections.
## Overview
Red Herring Roulette challenges players to group words into their correct categories. The game presents players with a set of words that need to be sorted into logical categories. Each category contains four related words, and it's your job to figure out the connections!
## How to Play
1. **Select Words**: Click on four words that you think belong to the same category.
2. **Submit**: Click the submit button to check if your grouping is correct.
3. **Solve Categories**: Successfully identify all categories to win the game.
## Features
- **Word Shuffling**: Rearrange words with the shuffle button for a fresh perspective.
- **Failed Guesses Tracking**: Keep track of your previous incorrect attempts.
- **Custom Puzzles**: Create and share custom puzzles
## Development

- React for the UI components
- TypeScript for type-safety everywhere
- Cypress for end-to-end testing
## Testing
Run the Cypress test suite to verify functionality:
```bash
pnpm run cypress:run
```
The test suite includes:
- Verification of game mechanics
- Testing of the UI components
