Kinopy

Kinopy is a daily link puzzle shaped like a plant. It has five modes: Kompanion, catKin, Kalyx, Klimber and sKion.

Five daily puzzles

Each mode is its own daily puzzle. A new one grows at midnight in your own time zone, so you can play one mode or all five each day.

Kompanion, the Phrase mode: link tiles in pairs until each pair makes a phrase or a compound word, such as POINT BLANK.
catKin, the Word mode: link fragments in pairs so each pair makes one word, such as PAN and TRY for PANTRY.
Kalyx, the Math mode: link numbers and operators so each equation is right.
Klimber, the Ladder mode: link words that differ by one letter, like a word ladder.
sKion, the Splice mode: link each word to a word that starts with its last three or more letters.

How it plays

Each day a root word sits on a soil line. The Rootlet grows down from it as roots, and the Sapling grows up from it as a pine. Swap the tiles, submit, and every correct link locks green. Lock every link before the guesses run out.

Each mode plays the Rootlet first. The Sapling unlocks when the Rootlet ends, keeps the root tile in place and gives one guess fewer.
