One word puzzle a day: five hidden words built from a single shared tray of letters, and a final word that connects all five.
Every day there is a tray of letters and five slots. All five words come out of that same tray, so each one you place changes what is left for the rest.
Solving a word reveals a clue. With all five clues in front of you, the task is to find the final word — the one that explains why those five belonged together.
It is built to take a few minutes and bring you back tomorrow, not to hold you for an afternoon.

Usage permission
You may use these screenshots, the wordmark and the icon in articles, videos and social posts without asking, including monetised content. No need to notify me.
Two requests, neither of them a condition: credit Ogam Labs where the format allows it, and please avoid publishing the solution to the puzzle currently running — everyone plays the same one, so a spoiler ruins it for all of them at once.
Why it exists
I built it because I had spent years starting the day with a word game, and I wanted one where the fun wasn't guessing letters but realising what five unrelated things have in common.
Nothing is translated: every language has its own 365 puzzles, written from scratch, because a word puzzle does not survive translation. Even the name changes — the app is Hilo in Spanish, Fil in French, Faden in German, Tråd in Swedish.
It was made by one person, alongside a full-time job.
