Every day released so far. Days that are over show their answers.

Every neighbouring pair has to make one word. SOME → DAY → LIGHT → HOUSE works because someday, daylight and lighthouse are all words. You are given the two ends; you supply the middle. More than one bridge is often legal, and any legal bridge counts.

Every bridge published so far

KEYSTONE has published 282 word bridges across 94 days, starting on July 24, 2026. Each day has a warm-up, a main puzzle and a challenge. The table below lists all of them. Answers are filled in for the 93 days that are over; the day being played right now shows its answer here tomorrow.

How to read the table

Each row gives you the two ends of a bridge and the shape of the gap: ??? means a three-letter word goes there. A bridge is correct when every neighbouring pair of words joins into one real word, so the middle words each have to work twice, once looking left and once looking right. That double duty is the whole puzzle.

Warm-up bridges use short, very common joining words. Main bridges are the ones most people finish in a minute or two. Challenge bridges usually have one end that almost nothing attaches to, so they are best solved backwards from that end.

The words that do the joining

Almost every bridge in the table above turns on a hinge word: a word that can sit in front of one word and behind another, like HOUSE in GREENHOUSE and HOUSEBOAT. If you get stuck, running through the busiest hinges is usually faster than staring at the ends. We keep a full reference list of every hinge word that appears in KEYSTONE: 141 compound word hinges, with the words that attach on each side.
