Daily Parlor

Daisy Chain

Each word joins the next. Fill the chain before the daisy loses its petals.

How to play

A daily compound word game, stitched in embroidery. Each word in the chain joins the next to make a new word: SUN and FLOWER make SUNFLOWER, FLOWER and POT make FLOWERPOT. You get the first and last words; tap tiles to fill the four links between them, top to bottom. Some tiles are decoys. Each wrong tap plucks a petal from your daisy, and five wrong taps and it wilts.
