KEYSTONE · Day 4

Monday, July 27, 2026 — three word bridges. Answers appear here once the day is over.

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.

Warm-up

LAY???????MAN

3 letters, then 4 letters.

Main

FLASH??????????WIVES

5 letters, then 5 letters.

Challenge

UNDER????????TURNED

4 letters, then 4 letters.

What day 4 asks you to do

Day 4 is live right now. The three bridges are LAY to MAN, FLASH to WIVES and UNDER to TURNED. Each one needs two middle words, and every neighbouring pair has to read as a single ordinary word once you push them together.

Warm-up — LAY to MAN. The first gap takes a 3-letter word and the second takes a 4-letter word. Whatever you put in the first gap has to work twice: once behind LAY and once in front of your second word.

Main — FLASH to WIVES. The first gap takes a 5-letter word and the second takes a 5-letter word. Whatever you put in the first gap has to work twice: once behind FLASH and once in front of your second word.

Challenge — UNDER to TURNED. The first gap takes a 4-letter word and the second takes a 4-letter word. Whatever you put in the first gap has to work twice: once behind UNDER and once in front of your second word.

Answers for day 4 are published on this page after the day ends. Nothing above gives them away. If you want worked answers now, the archive has every finished day.
