## What is Hitch?

Hitch is a daily word-chain puzzle.

Every chain has seven words, stacked top to bottom. You're given the first and the last. Each word joins the next to make a compound word or a familiar phrase: SNOW, BALL, ROOM, SERVICE, STATION, WAGON, WHEEL.

Work inward from either end. The first letter of each word is free. Guess wrong, or tap Reveal, and one more letter appears. Finish the chain with as few extra letters as you can.

• A chain a day, out at midnight
• Play any chain you missed from the Archive
• Track your streaks and letter counts in Statistics
• Share your result as colored squares, without spoiling the words
• Designed for iPhone and iPad, with hardware keyboard support
• Supports VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast, and Differentiate Without Color
• No account, no ads, no tracking. Hitch works offline and collects no data.
