How to Play

Phrase2Phrase is a daily word puzzle that asks players to come up with two phrases joined by a common word in a before and after format.

The Rules

  1. Press “Play” to begin. Watch closely for the letters to start appearing.
  2. Press “Solve” any time you think you know the phrases.
  3. Type your guess using the keyboard.
  4. Press “Submit” to check your answer.
  5. Press “Resume” if you need more letters to solve the puzzle.
  6. Wrong guess or too slow (you have one minute to type in your guess)? You lose one of your two hearts.
  7. Run out of hearts or out of time? Game-over – the answer is revealed.
  8. The sooner you guess the two phrases, the higher your score will be.
  9. Share your results with your friends and see who got the highest score.

Example

If the clues and letters form the puzzle:

First Phrase: Fly off the (White boxes)
Common Word: handle (Black boxes)
Second Phrase: with care (Gray boxes)

The solution is Fly off the handle with care. The phrases are common idioms: “Fly off the handle” and “handle with care,” joined by the overlapping word “handle.”

Tips for Success

Phrase2Phrase can be played in Easy Mode which shows the common word at the start to give you a clue, and Hard Mode that starts with all blank boxes.

Letters appear in the boxes automatically. If you're stuck, you can watch closely as more letters are revealed, but you must type your guess within the one-minute limit once you hit solve!

There's a new puzzle everyday!
