How to play

Find the missing word that links both sides — forming compound words or phrases on each side.

SUN → ? → HOUSE

FLOWER SUNFLOWER ✓ · FLOWERHOUSE ✗

Doesn't fit

LIGHT SUNLIGHT ✓ · LIGHTHOUSE ✓

✓ The missing link

3 guesses per link. Solve all 5 to complete the chain. Tackle links in any order. Link 1 is the easiest — they get harder as you go. Stuck? The gold Hint button opens a menu: reveal the first letter (1 token), the word length (1 token), or a “sounds like” rhyme (2 tokens). You start with 5 tokens and earn more by finishing chains, earning badges, and hitting point milestones — plus a daily refill. Hints never hurt your streak, your score, or your result.

Scoring: each link holds 200 points. You get 15 seconds to look, then points tick away until you solve it. Wrong guesses cost 50. Finish the whole chain and you never score below 250. Practice tiers scale the stakes: Easy plays for 600 points with a faster clock, Medium for 1,000, Hard for 1,500 with a slower one. Your share shows only your emoji tries, points, and time — never the answers.
