GOLDEN ___ CRASH. The word GATE completes both "Golden Gate" and "Gate Crash" — that's a Before & After. Every puzzle hides one bridge word that links two phrases. Read the BEFORE clue and the AFTER clue, then find the single word that finishes both. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY - Levels: climb an endless ladder that gets tougher as you go — your progress is saved. - Run: an arcade high-score chase. Build a combo multiplier; one slip ends the run. - Serene: no pressure, no fail — just relax and solve at an easy pace. - Daily: a fresh hand-picked puzzle every day to keep your streak alive. BUILD A COMBO Solve puzzles back to back to raise your multiplier and score bigger. Stuck? Reveal a letter with a hint or skip a tough one — earn coins as you play to spend on both. Simple to learn, tough to put down.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Word Compile at none against Before & After's shown. Word Compile also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). Before & After's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
