Thursday, October 22, 2026 — three word bridges.
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

Day 91 ran on Thursday, October 22, 2026. Its three bridges were HOME to SIDE, HIGH to WIVES and MORE to CAP. Between them they build nine compound words, all listed at the bottom of this page. Below is the answer to each bridge and what makes it fit.
The answer is WORK then OUT, which gives homework, workout and outside. The first gap is 4 letters, the second is 3.
Only one pair in the KEYSTONE word bank joins HOME to SIDE, so this bridge had a single accepted answer. The narrow end is usually the one to solve first.
The answer is LIGHT then HOUSE, which gives highlight, lighthouse and housewives. The first gap is 5 letters, the second is 5.
Only one pair in the KEYSTONE word bank joins HIGH to WIVES, so this bridge had a single accepted answer. The narrow end is usually the one to solve first.
The answer is OVER then NIGHT, which gives moreover, overnight and nightcap. The first gap is 4 letters, the second is 5.
Only one pair in the KEYSTONE word bank joins MORE to CAP, so this bridge had a single accepted answer. The narrow end is usually the one to solve first.
WORK, OUT, LIGHT, HOUSE, OVER and NIGHT have a page listing every compound built on them and the other chains you can run through them.
Every one of those nine compounds turns on a hinge word doing double duty. If you want to see the whole set KEYSTONE draws from, the reference list of 141 compound word hinges gives the words that attach in front of and behind each one.
