Twixt
Each day, a new puzzle: a start word and an end word. Transform start into end in exactly four moves.
Use each of the four move types exactly once, in any order.
Anagram
Rearrange all the letters into a different word.
e.g.
heart → earth
table → bleat
shore → horse
Verb
Switch to any other form of the same verb.
e.g.
walk → walks, walked, walking
write → writes, wrote, written, writing
run → runs, ran, running
be → am, is, are, was, were, been, being
Homophone
Swap to a word that sounds the same but is spelled differently.
e.g.
write → right
sea → see
thyme → time
Compound
Jump to a word that combines with the current one to form a common compound word.
e.g.
sea → horse (seahorse)
watch → tower (watchtower)
worm → book (bookworm)
Rules
- Each puzzle has only one valid solution.
- The same word cannot appear twice in your path.
- The last move must land exactly on the end word.
- You can undo any move while you're still solving.
- One new puzzle each day, reset at your local midnight.
Example
thyme → bleated
thyme → time (homophone)
time → table (compound, timetable)
table → bleat (anagram)
bleat → bleated (verb)
