A short word and a long word are braided into one — and the two
are always related by a shared theme. Pick a length, then tap the
letters that belong to that word — tap again to clear.
Letters keep their order!

HOW TO PLAY
Two words have been braided together into one jumble — a short one and a long one, sharing a hidden theme. The letters of each word stay in their original order; they're just tangled with each other.
Pick a yarn color — blue is always the shorter word, orange the longer — then tap the letters that belong to it. Tap a letter again — in the braid or in its word row — to clear it. Once a word is full, the pen switches color for you. When both words are complete, hit Unravel.
You get 3 tries per round. Stuck? The Hint button reveals a clue — the words' shared theme first, then their starting letters. Hints don't cost a try, but your result will show how many you used!
Scoring: each round is worth up to 300 points — 200 for accuracy (−50 per miss, −30 per hint) plus up to 100 for speed. The clock starts at your first tap, and full speed bonus means solving in under 30 seconds. Untangle all three braids for a +100 clean sweep. A perfect day is 1000.
3 rounds a day, the braids growing from 3+4 letters up to 5+6. Missed a day? The calendar button (top left) takes you back to any braid from earlier this year. Solve fast, share your result.
