    Each bubble hides a word that joins the anchor to make a compound word or common phrase. POP → popcorn, pop quiz, soda pop.

    FAQ

    When does a new puzzle come out?

    Each game gets a new puzzle at midnight in your time zone. Finish it the same day to keep that game's streak going.

    Missed a day. Can I still play it?

    Yes. Open the archive (the calendar icon) to play any past puzzle. Archive games don't count toward your streak.

    Do I have to spell everything perfectly?

    No. Capitalization, spacing, punctuation, simple plurals and small typos are forgiven, and common alternate words count.

    Where are the answers?

    Once a day's puzzle is over everywhere, its answers are posted on the Pairs and Associations archive pages. Today's answers stay hidden.

    Do I need an account?

    No. Progress and streaks are saved in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

    Verba populi: words of the people

    How to play

    1. Start with the anchor. Every bubble hides a word that pairs with it to make a common word or phrase.
    2. Read the blanks. They show how many letters are missing and which side the anchor goes on.
    3. Type the missing word. The half or the whole thing both count, and so do close spellings.
    4. Stuck? Tap a bubble, then Hint. First you get a clue, then letters.

    No timer, no strikes. Each game drops a new puzzle at midnight, your time, and keeps its own streak. Missed a day? The archive has every past puzzle.
