Circuits
What is Circuits?
Circuits is a daily challenge word association game. Players are presented with a board with words connected by blanks, and must fill in the puzzle.
For instance, if presented with ROPE --> [ ??? ] --> STATE, the player must come up with SWING which satisfies both "rope swing" and "swing state."
Play continues until the player solves the entire puzzle.
Thoughts on gameplay
Despite the straightforward premise, Circuits can be fairly challenging.
For especially challenging puzzles, players might use the Bolt option which is a free letter clue.
It's a great casual option both solo or with a small group, and usually takes just a few minutes to solve.
Why it's good
There's a lot to appreciate about Circuits: great design, extremely intuitive, and challenging (but not unpleasantly so).
Every puzzle has a little mini editorial that is revealed when you solve it – a nice touch.
