Chainle solver tips
In a bridge round, try putting the same word before or after each clue. For example, DOG follows HOT in “hot dog” and follows WATCH in “watchdog.” Read both combinations aloud before guessing. In a three-clue round, test your candidate against the third clue too. In a pair round, say the clue aloud and think of the word people usually pair it with.
Each hand-written hint describes the kind of connection to look for. Start with the hint for your current round, then check the worked examples for all three round types if you need more help.
