How to play

Wire your way from one idea to another.

  1. Every word links to its five most related words. Tap one to hop to it.
  2. Reach the target in as few hops as you can. Min is the shortest possible route.
  3. Backing up is free, but every hop you make counts, dead ends included.
  4. Stuck? Hints help, at a small cost to your score.

Related means "shows up in the same contexts", so words can be linked by meaning, place, or pop culture. Think laterally! A new puzzle arrives every day at midnight.

Need a nudge?

Hint costs are added to your hop count. Each hint — and stepping back — is a one-time use.

How long can you keep the chain going?

  1. You get 5× min in moves to wire your way to a random target.
  2. Reach it and it becomes your new start. A fresh target is rolled and your moves reset.
  3. Run out of moves and the run ends. Your score is how many links you chained.
  4. It gets harder. Routes start short and grow longer as the chain grows. Hints cost moves.
