KEYSTONE · Day 93

Saturday, October 24, 2026 — three word bridges.

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

MOON→?????→?????→KEEPING

5 letters, then 5 letters.

Show an answer

LIGHT · HOUSE

moonlight · lighthouse · housekeeping — other legal bridges may also count.

Main

ART→????→???→RIGHT

4 letters, then 3 letters.

WORK · OUT

artwork · workout · outright — other legal bridges may also count.

Challenge

LEFT→????→????→TABLE

4 letters, then 4 letters.

OVER · TIME

leftover · overtime · timetable — at least 2 different legal bridges exist for this one, so a different answer may well have counted too.

How day 93 worked out

Day 93 ran on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Its three bridges were MOON to KEEPING, ART to RIGHT and LEFT to TABLE. 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.

Warm-up: MOON to KEEPING

The answer is LIGHT then HOUSE, which gives moonlight, lighthouse and housekeeping. The first gap is 5 letters, the second is 5.

Only one pair in the KEYSTONE word bank joins MOON to KEEPING, so this bridge had a single accepted answer. The narrow end is usually the one to solve first.

Main: ART to RIGHT

The answer is WORK then OUT, which gives artwork, workout and outright. The first gap is 4 letters, the second is 3.

Only one pair in the KEYSTONE word bank joins ART to RIGHT, so this bridge had a single accepted answer. The narrow end is usually the one to solve first.

Challenge: LEFT to TABLE

The answer is OVER then TIME, which gives leftover, overtime and timetable. The first gap is 4 letters, the second is 4.

This bridge is not unique. KEYSTONE accepts 2 different pairs here and every one of them scores: OVER · TURN works just as well as the pair above. Ends like these sit in the crowded part of the compound-word network, which is why several routes cross them.

Every compound word in day 93

LIGHT, HOUSE, WORK, OUT, OVER and TIME 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.
