Goal
Fill the grid column-by-column for the highest score.
Column rules
- Second word in a column shares the same sound with the first; that sound becomes the column’s sound for the rest of the column.
- Top word of a new column can only use letters from the previous column.
- Same spelling may reappear only with a different pronunciation (never twice in the same column).
