How to Find the Common Thread
Every board contains exactly four groups. A word may appear to fit several ideas, so look for a complete set of four before you submit. If a guess contains three words from one group, the game tells you that you are one word away.
Built for Fair Practice
CommonThread uses original board packs rather than replaying another publisher's puzzles. Daily boards are the same for everyone, practice boards can be shared by link, and progress stays in your browser.
