How to play FUSE

  • • Pick a difficulty — Easy (5 letters), Medium (6), or Hard (7) — then arrange the tiles.
  • • Drag the tiles left to right. The top letters spell a word matching the Top clue; the bottom letters spell a word matching the Bottom clue.
  • • Use every tile exactly once. Both words fill in as you arrange.
  • • When both words are correct, the board turns green. Today's puzzle grows your streak and earns XP.
  • • Need a nudge? A Hint reveals the correct letters for one slot.
