SUN … FLOWER … POT One word sits in the middle and finishes them both. That's the whole game. Connect Them is a cosy word puzzle about the links hiding between everyday words. , no adverts. Just you, a warm cup of a puzzle, and a small owl called Otto who wears reading glasses and means well. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Daily — five links, once a day. Build a streak, then share the result without spoiling a single answer. Blitz — two minutes on the clock. How many can you link before it runs out? Cozy Endless — no clock at all. Keep going until three slip past you. OVER 1,500 PUZZLES Every link is a real compound word or a phrase people actually say, checked against real-world usage rather than pulled from a dusty dictionary. The Daily walks a fixed order, so nothing repeats until you've seen everything — more than a year of puzzles. EARN YOUR HINTS Hints cost corn, and corn is earned by playing well. Solve without help and you're paid more. String answers together and the bonuses grow. Come back tomorrow and there's more waiting. Stuck is always temporary. BUILT TO BE HEARD Connect Them was designed with VoiceOver in mind from the start, not bolted on afterwards. • Every puzzle, button and score reads clearly with VoiceOver • Results, hints and corn are announced as they happen • Focus moves to each new puzzle automatically • The answer submits itself on the last letter — no hunting for a button • Extra time in Blitz when a screen reader is running, so the clock is fair • Prefer to play with your eyes closed? Turn on Read Puzzles Aloud and the game narrates every clue in its own voice, at a speed you choose NO ADVERTS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO ACCOUNT.
