What is ThroughWord?
ThroughWord is a daily word puzzle built around grouping words in threes. Each trio shares a hidden 'Throughword' — a word that connects with all three members of the group. Players must identify the groups and then unlock the common word that fits each one.
How to play ThroughWord
The puzzle presents a set of words. Players select three words that form a group and submit them as a guess. If correct, the group is locked in and the Throughword for that group can be unlocked. The interface includes shuffle, deselect, and submit options, along with a mistake counter. Players can give up, reveal the Throughword, or continue guessing for fun.
Tips & strategy
- Look for words that can pair with a common term to form compound words or phrases — that shared term is likely the Throughword.
- Pay attention to the scoring breakdown: base score, Throughword score, and order bonus suggest that both correct grouping and the order in which you solve groups affect your final result.
- Use the archive to practice past puzzles and build familiarity with the game's grouping logic.
