How to Play

One word connects them all

Each day features a named mechanic that defines how three clues relate to a single answer word. The mechanic name is shown before you begin - use it to guide your thinking.

Progressive clues

You begin with only a word. Each wrong guess reveals the next clue: an emoji, then an image. Three guesses total.

3 guesses

You have 3 chances to guess the word. The fewer clues you need, the better your badge!

Daily mechanics

Each day has a named mechanic (like Reversal, Double Meaning, or Emotion Behind) that tells you how the clues relate to the answer. The mechanic is your biggest clue - read it carefully!

The 5 mechanics

Reversal- The clues point away from the truth
Double Meaning- Each clue has a double life. One word connects them all.
Part for Whole- Each clue is just a piece
Emotion Behind- Find what causes the feeling
The Witness- Something happened. What was it?

What you’re looking for

The answer is always a single noun - a person, place, or thing.

Spelling help

If you’re very close to the answer but misspell it, you’ll see a “Check your spelling” hint, and it won’t cost you a guess.
