Before & After: Word Game

GOLDEN ___ CRASH. The word GATE completes both "Golden Gate" and "Gate Crash" — that's a Before & After.

Every puzzle hides one bridge word that links two phrases. Read the BEFORE clue and the AFTER clue, then find the single word that finishes both.

FOUR WAYS TO PLAY

• Levels: climb an endless ladder that gets tougher as you go — your progress is saved.
• Run: an arcade high-score chase. Build a combo multiplier; one slip ends the run.
• Serene: no pressure, no fail — just relax and solve at an easy pace.
• Daily: a fresh hand-picked puzzle every day to keep your streak alive.

BUILD A COMBO Solve puzzles back to back to raise your multiplier and score bigger. Stuck? Reveal a letter with a hint or skip a tough one — earn coins as you play to spend on both.

Simple to learn, tough to put down.
