Quick steps to get started
Observe the Imagery: Each level presents you with three or four distinct images. Look closely—one might be a physical object, another an abstract concept, and the third an action.
Find the Common Thread: Identify the single word that applies to all images. Remember: we love polysemy (words with multiple meanings). A "Draft" could be a cold breeze or a rough sketch of a masterpiece.
Type Your Answer: Use the provided letter tiles to spell out the word.
Use Your Intuition (and Hints): Stuck on a particularly "Hard" level?
Expose a Letter: Reveal a single correct letter in the word.
Remove Tiles: Get rid of letters that aren't part of the solution.
Climb the Ranks: Progress through hundreds of levels. The further you go, the more abstract the connections become.
Pro Tip: If you're stuck, try saying the names of the objects out loud. Sometimes the ear catches what the eye misses!
