Joined Words

Joined Words is a daily word puzzle where your mission is to identify a compound word from three cryptic clues in as few guesses as possible.

Each puzzle gives you three short hints that point to a single joined word. Maybe "celestial," "body," and "twinkle" lead you to "starfish." Or "frozen," "flake," and "winter" guide you to "snowball." The clues can be literal, associative, or lateral, so you'll need to think flexibly.

• Read all three clues carefully before guessing.
• Type your answer as a single compound word.
• Wrong guesses count against you, so think before you submit.
• You have a limited number of attempts to crack it.
• A new joined word drops every day.

Why we like it:

• ✅The three clue format gives you just enough to work with without making it too easy.
• ✅Scratches that same itch as crosswords but wraps up in under a minute.
• ✅Builds your lateral thinking muscles one compound word at a time.

Hint: Don't lock onto the most obvious interpretation of each clue. Compound words often hinge on double meanings or unexpected pairings, so let your brain wander a little.
