Field notes
The rules let players work from either end of a five-word chain, switching the active end while keeping typed guesses in place. The example is RAIN → BOW → TIE → BREAK → FAST, where every neighboring pair forms a compound word or phrase. Scoring counts revealed letters: fewer is better, and a fully revealed answer is filled in automatically; the page says a new chain appears at midnight.
