How to play

Back to today

Every day you get four rounds of letters — two, then three, then four, then five. Find real words that use those letters in exactly that order.

  • · The first letter shown must be the word's first letter.
  • · The last letter shown must be the word's last letter.
  • · Any middle letters must appear in between, in order.

Example

C
D
N

condominium works — it starts with C, has a D in the middle and ends with N. Condo does not: it doesn't end in N.

Scoring

  • · Each word scores 2 points per round number, plus 1 point per letter.
  • · So longer words in later rounds are worth far more.
  • · Every round asks for 10 words — or every word there is, when a pattern has fewer than 10. Hit the quota and the round closes with a bonus of 10 × the round, and the next round opens automatically.
  • · A few words unlock the next round; you can come back any time today.
  • · Any real word that fits the letters counts. There's no secret list.
  • · Revealing the answers ends your day — your score is final.

Ranks

Your rank rises with your score. Genius lands at about 70% of a full day — reachable without filling every quota. Perfect is for the days you do.

No timer

Nothing is timed. Your progress saves on this device, so you can put a puzzle down and come back to it later the same day.
