Storylines (Redividers)

Storylines is a daily word puzzle from Redividers. Each day there is one short story, the same for everyone, with blanks to fill. The first blank takes a single word; the later blanks take that same string of letters, re-divided into two or more words by adding spaces.

For example, a story might say that someone now has a STEPSON, and then that he STEPS ON his own laces: the letters stay in the same order, but a space turns one word into two. Your job is to find the source word that, split in different places, makes every sentence read correctly.

The puzzle changes at midnight by your own device's date. There is a timed daily and an Untimed mode, an archive of past puzzles and a stats page. Solving faster and with fewer hints scores better. No account is needed, though you can sign in to keep your record.

It suits wordplay fans who enjoy puns, homophones and the trick of hearing one word as another, in a quick daily that rewards a good ear for language.
