About Twofer Goofer
Twofer Goofers are pairs of rhyming words that make a nonsensical phrase, and each day's puzzle gives you one as a clue. A caffeinated drink made of semi-molten rock is LAVA JAVA, from the game's own sample. The tiles show how many letters each word has, and you type both words and press Enter. A timer runs while you think.
If you are stuck, the game hands out further clues one at a time, starting with the syllable count, and a Reveal answer link gives up the pair. When you solve it you can share your result.
