How to play Word Hinge
Read both clues aloud
Imagine the clues are “bakery” and “wallet.” Bread fits a bakery; money fits a wallet. Dough fits both: it goes into the oven, and it’s slang for money. Sometimes it helps to switch meanings instead of looking for a synonym.
Take a guess or uncover a hint
Each round has one hidden English word. Use the letter count to narrow it down. A different connection might make sense, so a miss lets you try again without losing points. Solve unaided for two points, use a hint for one, or reveal the explanation for zero.
