A daily puzzle to find the longest hidden word in the fewest guesses. Tap letters left to right across the grid, skipping any you like, to spell words.
Trilogy
What is Trilogy?
Trilogy is a daily word-chain puzzle built around a three-word sequence: a starting word, a missing middle word, and an ending word. The missing middle word must pair with the word on each side to form two compound words or common phrases. The site describes itself as a daily word chain, with a fresh run each day.

A word chain that rewards the quiet thrill of that 'aha' moment when two halves snap together like a well-turned clue.

Three guesses and three lifelines is a tight, fair leash, but the real test is whether the middle word earns its place or just fits the slot.

It's like a sample flip — you know the two records on either end, but the bridge is what makes the whole track hit.

This is the mid-credits scene of daily word games — a small, satisfying payoff that makes you want to stick around for the next one.
How to play Trilogy
Look at the left and right words shown for the day, then guess the middle word that connects them. For example, BACK and WATER are linked by GROUND because it forms "Background" and "Groundwater." You get 3 guesses per sequence, and you can use lifeline buoys to fill in random missing letters if you need help.
Tips & strategy
- Focus on middle words that can attach naturally to both outer words, forming a familiar pairing on each side.
- Think of the middle word as the end of the first compound and the beginning of the second compound.
- Use lifelines sparingly, since the site gives you only 3 total assists for the entire daily run.
- Remember that common two-word phrases count, not just single-word compounds.
- If a guess is wrong, break the problem in half and try to brainstorm words that work with only one side at a time.
