How to play

You see two words with a blank between them — like FIRE __ PLACE. The answer is a word that fits both: compounds with FIRE on the left (FIREWORK) AND with PLACE on the right (WORKPLACE). Pick the right answer from 4 candidates.

5 rounds per level. Win threshold rises with difficulty: 2-of-5 (easy) up to 5-of-5 (bonus).

Strategy tips

• Try each candidate against both halves. Often only one creates real compounds on both sides.
• Think household compounds first. WORK, BACK, BOOK, MAIL, BOARD, BALL all link many words.
