A Rabbit Hole board: MYTH linked by a synonym hop to FABLE, then a rhyme hop

Rabbit Hole is a free daily word game about hopping between words. Each day gives a start word and a target, and you move from one to the other through rhymes, synonyms and antonyms, such as MYTH to FABLE by synonym, aiming for the fewest hops.

About Rabbit Hole (word chain)

Rabbit Hole sets one word chain a day, the same for everyone. You begin at the start word and must reach the target by hopping from word to word, and every hop has to be a rhyme, a synonym or an antonym of the word before. The board labels each hop, so a path might read MYTH, synonym FABLE, rhyme something else, and so on.

The score is the number of hops, so the challenge is to find the shortest route by switching cleverly between sound and meaning. A Today view and arrows let you move between days.

It is free in the browser, with no sign-in and no ads.

It suits players who like word ladders and association games, with the twist that rhymes count as moves.

How to play Rabbit Hole (word chain)

  1. Read the day's start word and target.
  2. Enter a word that rhymes with, means the same as, or the opposite of the current word.
  3. Keep hopping, each step labelled as rhyme, synonym or antonym.
  4. Reach the target in as few hops as you can.
