About SEEKING

SEEKING is a free daily word puzzle where you find the single hidden bridge word that connects two words into two new compound words. One puzzle a day, the same for everyone, playable in about a minute.

GROUND ‹ ? › SPACE

The answer is WORK — because GROUND + WORK makes GROUNDWORK and WORK + SPACE makes WORKSPACE. The bridge word has to make a real word on both sides at once.

What is SEEKING?

SEEKING is a daily browser-based brain teaser built around compound words. Each day presents two words with a gap between them; your job is to discover the one word that bridges them. You get five guesses, and the game reveals progressive hints as you go — first the word length, then ruled-out letters, then matching letters — so you can always work your way to the answer without ever being shown it.

How the daily puzzle works

One puzzle, every day

A new puzzle goes live at midnight and is identical for every player worldwide, so you can compare your result with friends. There is nothing to install — it runs in any browser.

Progressive hints, never the answer

Every wrong guess unlocks a little more help, so the puzzle gets easier the longer you stay with it. We never publish the daily answer — solving it yourself is the point. You can read more about how hints work, or learn the full rules on How to Play.

Optional account

You can play forever without signing up. A free account simply saves your streak and statistics across your devices.
