A short word and a long word are braided into one, related by a
shared theme. Tap the letters that belong to each word — one extra
letter is a decoy, leave it uncolored. 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. Watch out — one decoy letter hides in the braid too, belonging to neither word. Leave it uncolored.
Pick a yarn color (blue is always the shorter word, brown 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: first the decoy letter, then the words' shared theme, 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: −50 per miss, −30 per hint. 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. Untangle, then share your result.
