Play on playbridgewords.comWhat is Bridge Words?
Bridge Words is a daily word association puzzle where you connect two related clues with a single word. Each puzzle presents two columns of clues, and your goal is to find the word that links each matching pair. The first letters of all bridge words spell out a hidden theme, called the Keystone.
How to play Bridge Words
Drag clues up or down so that a clue from Bank A lines up with its matching clue from Bank B. Then type the word that connects those two clues and press Build. Use the first letters of the solved bridge words to reveal the Keystone, which is the overall theme of the puzzle.
Tips & strategy
- Start by scanning both banks for obvious pairs, then align those first to build momentum.
- Use the Keystone as a guide once you have a few bridge words—it can help you guess remaining answers.
- Wrong guesses cost points, so only submit a bridge word when you're fairly confident.
- Time penalties begin after the first two minutes, so try to solve efficiently without rushing into mistakes.
- Spend points on the first hint to align clues only if you're stuck—it's cheaper than revealing letters or the answer.
