Daily 7-word Keysmash

How to solve a Keysmash puzzle

Read the theme, then read each word's consonant skeleton and type the missing vowels — a, e, i, o, or u — back into the blanks. Tap a blank and use the on-screen vowel keypad on a phone, or just type on a desktop; the next blank is selected for you automatically. Fill every blank in a word correctly and it locks in; solve every word to finish. Stuck? A hint reveals the next missing vowel of the word you are working on. New to the game? Read the full how to play guide.

Since today's set only comes around once, the fastest way to sharpen your solving is to read the theme first and let it narrow the vocabulary before you touch a single vowel — a skeleton like "t_g_r" is anonymous alone but obvious under "big cats." Our strategy guide covers that and a few other habits, and the numbered puzzle library gives you more sets to practice on right away.
