How it plays

Every neighbouring pair of words has to form a real compound or phrase: SHARK → TANK → TOP → HAT → TRICK → SHOT (shark tank, tank top, top hat, hat trick, trick shot). There is one daily chain that everyone plays, and an endless mode for going as far as you can.

Type a word and it snaps into an interlocking capsule; a wrong word shakes off.

Design

Typography first, with one accent colour and no coins, gems or mascots. Android first, with iOS later.

How it's built

Flutter, with no backend and no cloud service, so it costs nothing to run. The first playable word graph, 469 words joined by 1,999 links, was checked by script so that no word leads to a dead end. Arkyn runs the production side: a build plan with two kill-gates, an independent code audit, a gate every release build has to pass, and the Play account it will publish from.
