Stage 1 — Arrange the Ring

Place 8 words around the ring so each belongs to its correct theme(s). Anchors (inside quadrants) belong to ONE theme. Bridges (on boundaries) belong to TWO adjacent themes.

Tap two words to swap them. Bridges show split coloring as you solve — only the half inside a completed quadrant turns green.

Stage 2 — Find the Center Word

Once all words are placed, tap the center to enter guessing mode. The center expands so you can type your answer directly into it.

The mystery word connects ALL 4 themes through different meanings. For example, if the themes were THEATER, FISHING, MEDICINE, and METALWORK, the center word might be CAST (cast of actors / cast a line / arm cast / cast molten metal).

Use the ring words! Tap any word on the ring to see how it connects to its theme(s) — this may help you find the center word.
