Crumbkin

Three little puzzles. One big connection.

Crumbkin is a daily word adventure. Follow the clues, connect the words, and solve The Big Link.

In development for iPhone and Android. Nothing to download yet.

How it plays

Each day’s adventure has three short rounds. Every round has two or three word trails. At launch, a small collection of adventures repeats.

The missing word works on both sides: sunflower and flower pot.
  1. Follow the trails

    Each trail runs from a start word to an end word. The missing word in the middle completes a familiar compound or phrase on both sides.

  2. Earn a clue word

    The trail answers in a round share one more word that goes before or after all of them. Find it and you’ve earned a clue for the finale.

  3. Solve The Big Link

    With three earned words in hand, look for the one word that connects all three.

  1. Round 1 Earned word
  2. Round 2 Earned word
  3. Round 3 Earned word
Each round earns one word. Together, the three earned words are the clues to The Big Link.

Choose how much help you’d like.

Open

Just the words and how many letters each answer has. Ask for help any time.

Clued

A clue appears with each question.

Guided

Short clues and three big choices, with no typing. Read-aloud is there if you want it, so younger players can join in.

Read the clues out loud and talk them through together. A day’s adventure takes about fifteen minutes, and it works just as well on your own.
