Pair words into everyday phrases, then find the hidden ladder they climb.
Is this your first time playing?
You get 8 words. Tap two that make an everyday phrase, like SMALL + TALK, then tap Place. Tap ⇄ on a rung to flip its words.
Watch for traps: SMALL PRINT is a phrase too, but then TALK has no partner.
One word in each phrase is a step on a real-world ladder. Here it's sizes: small, medium, large, jumbo. The ladder word can be either word in its phrase.
📏 Stack it so the ladder climbs: lowest at the bottom, highest at the top. Use ▲ and ▼ to move a rung.
You have 4 attempts.
If a pair is wrong, you'll see which ones. The words in wrong pairs belong with each other.
Harder days hide the ladder in trickier ways. Tap 💡 Hint to see how.
Once all four pairs are right, the ladder words light up and you can guess the ladder for free:
Most days the ladder is better hidden. Those four climb units of time: second, minute, hour, day.
Look for the word in each phrase that means something else. That's the moment it clicks.
