Missing Link

How to play

• Each word joins the next to make a compound word or phrase.
• Find the 5 hidden words between the first and last. Work from either end.
• A wrong word reveals a letter and counts as a miss. Made-up words are free.
• Stuck? Clue and Letter help, but each one is a miss.
• Fewest misses wins. The clock pauses when you leave. New chain every midnight.
