About linqed

linqed calls itself the daily connection-making trivia game. Each puzzle starts with four ordinary trivia questions, on anything from music to history to slang. Answering them is only half the job: the four answers share a hidden link, a single word that connects them all, and the round ends when you find it.

For example, a set of answers might each go with GOLD, and the connector clue would point you at the end of a rainbow. After the reveal, each answer comes with a short note on how it ties to the link, so even a miss teaches you something. A hint is available if you are stuck on the connector, and a hard mode is there for players who want fewer helps.

A new puzzle drops every day at midnight on your own clock, and a countdown shows the time to the next one. Missed days are in an archive you can reach after the daily puzzle. It suits players who like pub-quiz questions and the click of finding a hidden theme, as in Connections or a quiz's final round.

How to play linqed

1. Open linqed and answer the first of the four trivia questions.
2. Work through all four questions.
3. Look at your four answers and think about what connects them.
4. Guess the connecting word, using the hint if you need it.
5. Read how each answer links up, then share your result or open the archive.

Tips

• If one question stumps you, answer the others first: the link can point you back to the missing answer.
• Think about words that go before or after each answer, not only what they mean.
• Save the hint for the connector rather than the questions.
