Frequently Asked Questions

The game is simple: You're given two words, and you need to think of a synonym for each word. Then, reverse the order of the words so that you create a two-word phrase! For example, the two initial words could be FILTER LAPTOP. A synonym for FILTER is SCREEN, and a synonym for LAPTOP is COMPUTER. Then you reverse the order of the words to get the phrase COMPUTER SCREEN.

Base Score: Your potential base score starts at 10 points per letter in the puzzle words. Each hint you use reduces your score by 10 points. For example, if the puzzle words have 10 letters total, your maximum base score would be 100 points. Using 2 hints would reduce that to 80 points.

Time Bonus: You also receive a time bonus based on how quickly you solve the puzzle. The bonus is calculated as 1000 divided by your completion time in milliseconds. So solving faster gives you a higher bonus!

Total Score: Your final score is the sum of your base score and time bonus. The leaderboard ranks players by their total score.
