Brainchain vs Connect 8

Brainchain - the original associative thinking training game Our associative mind is a gigantic connected web of knowledge, experiences and memories. When we see or think of one thing it triggers a number of possible linked associations: some narrow, some broad. If we stay too narrow and ruminative, it can lead to more negative or anxious states. If we can be broader, our mood, outlook and creativity tends to improve. Brainchain is a fast-paced and fun game designed to develop greater breadth in our associative thinking through words. How to Play Create your 6 word brainchain Begin with the starter word. Type the first word you associate with it in less than 10 seconds. Repeats 4 more times, with the next typed word being associated to the previous one in the chain. Review, share, compare your unique brainchain. Rules Single words only Must be a common word, not a specific person, country or brand. English words only No abbreviations Tips The goal is to find a clearly associated word, not a randomly disconnected one. Type what comes to mind first, don’t try to overthink. It’s about training ourselves to associate through more interesting routes. Reflect on your brainchain to see how you travelled to the final word and where you could have made it a broader chain.

A new word chain every day. Eight words, seven links, one satisfying solve. SUN → SCREEN → DOOR → BELL. Each word pairs with the next to make a compound word or a familiar phrase: sunscreen, screen door, doorbell. You start with the first word and work your way down the chain. Every word comes with a clue and its first letter. A fresh chain every day Today's chain is free for everyone. It's the same puzzle for every player, and a new one arrives at midnight. Go for gold Find a word on the first try and it turns gold. String gold words together to climb the gold-run ladder, and get all seven for a perfect chain. Each tile plays a marimba note as it locks, and sounds stay quiet when your phone is on silent. Say it instead Rather talk than type? Hold the mic key and say the word, or double-tap it for hands-free and say a whole run. Words are recognized on your iPhone, and Connect 8 doesn't record or keep your voice. 12 packs, 144 chains Around the house, Kitchen, Game night, Nature, Sports and more.

Keep your streak Solve each day's chain to build your streak. A widget keeps your streak and today's chain on your Home Screen or Lock Screen, and a daily reminder is there if you'd like a gentle nudge. Never stuck for long Every word has a clue. Reveal a letter, or the whole word if you need it. In casual mode a wrong guess also reveals the next letter. Made to fit The board sizes itself to your screen, so the keyboard never covers a word.
