Quick guide to play and scoring

Thread is a compact daily word game. Start with the seed word and add one related word each turn. Each hop is scored; aim for meaningful, not random, leaps.

Quick steps

  1. View today’s seed word.
  2. Enter one related word (no spaces, max 20 chars).
  3. Up to 5 submissions per run.
  4. Submit with a 4-letter alias to post the run.

Scoring

Synonyms are close (low score). Random words are far (low score). The best moves travel meaningfully while remaining coherent.

Tips

  • Use context switches (role, place, material) to move farther.
  • Short, concrete words often produce clearer embeddings.
