How to Play

Create 8 compound words and portmanteaus by blending words together. Return daily to build your streak, earn achievements, and track your progress.

1

A new puzzle, every day

Everyone gets the same 16 words each day. It resets at local midnight, so come back daily to keep the streak alive.

2

Compound words and portmanteaus

Each blend joins two words into a new one, two ways: stacked whole to form a compound word (Coffee + Pot = Coffeepot), or fused together into a portmanteau (Frappé + Cappuccino = Frappuccino). Every puzzle can mix both kinds.

3

Select two words, in order

Choose two words that combine to make a new word — order matters, so tap the word that comes first in the blend first. For Tabletop, tap Table before Top; tapping Top before Table counts as a mistake even though it's the right pair. Every puzzle contains exactly 8 correct blends, and every word is used exactly once.

4

Watch for mistakes

An incorrect pair — or the right pair in the wrong order — counts as a mistake. After 3 mistakes, the puzzle ends and the remaining blends are revealed. Retrying the exact same two words you already got wrong won't cost you another mistake.

Tips for finding blends fast

Scan for words that only make sense as a first half — Coffee, Sun, or Break rarely end a compound — and pair those before the words that could go either way. If a stacked reading doesn't click, try saying two words together out loud; portmanteaus like Frappuccino often reveal themselves by sound before they do by sight. And remember order matters, so double-check which word leads before you tap the second.
