A puzzle a day

The same daily for everyone. Solve it at par for a Lucid run and keep your streak alive.

You vs AI vs crowd

Every step shows how strongly the AI links the words and how many players went the same way.

Climb the ladder

Rise from Sleepwalker to Aristotle on a ladder of history's great associators.

How it works

You get a start word and a goal word. The board shows every real association of your current word — pick one to move closer. No undo, no dead ends: every move counts.

The magic is real: measured across thousands of words, any word reaches any other in about six steps. That's the whole game — and it's never the same twice.
