## What is Hops?

Can you connect The Godfather to Pulp Fiction? Shahnameh to Crime and Punishment? 

Hops is a daily word puzzle where you trace a path between two seemingly unrelated concepts — one hop at a time. Every word in the puzzle belongs to the same theme: Movies, History, Science, Music, and more.

Every day, a new puzzle. A new theme. A new chain of connections to discover.

HOW IT WORKS

You're given a Start word and an End word. Between them is a web of connected concepts — all from the same category. Drag through the bubbles to build a path. Land on the right ones and you'll feel the connections click into place.

Easy enough to pick up in seconds. Hard enough to keep you thinking all day.

FEATURES

· Daily puzzles across 20+ categories — Movies, History, Science, Music, Sports, and more
· Every puzzle stays within its theme — no random jumps across topics
· Three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard
· Beautifully written narratives that explain your path after you solve it
· Clean, minimal design inspired by the games you already love
· No ads. No timers. Just the puzzle.

If you love Wordle, Connections, or Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon — you'll love Hops.
