## What is Daily Thread?

Find the one word that threads five clues together, using as few clues as possible.

Each clue connects to the answer in a completely different way: an idiom, a compound word, a double meaning, a piece of pop culture. The first clue could mean anything. By the third, the thread starts to click.

Start with one clue. Every wrong guess reveals the next. Get it in one and you're Uncanny. Get it in five and you Got there.

A new thread every day. Same puzzle for everyone. Share your result with a spoiler-free emoji grid and see who found the thread fastest.

FEATURES
· One new daily puzzle, every day
· Practice rounds to learn the game
· Streaks, history and personal stats
· Spoiler-free emoji sharing
· Play offline, anywhere
