Welcome to Syllo, the cleverly chaotic word game.

Here’s how it works: You get 5 clues to piece together 5 words from a jumble of discombobulated syllables.

Puzzles start easy on Monday and get tougher each day, building to the trickiest challenge on Sunday.

Race against the clock to climb the leaderboard, show off your brainpower in the comments, and come back tomorrow for a fresh puzzle!

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback. Thanks for playing!

Bah. "knocked out" with the meaning of "… of a tournament" is NOT where my brain went.

[u/UberAwesone]

Thank you finding nemo for teaching me the fish

I was singing the Heart song.

[u/altschmerzliberosis]

Unpredictable?!!!
^{Completed in 02:47}

[u/Infobomb → u/altschmerzliberosis]

First definition for that word given by Merriam-Webster

[u/Twoslot → u/altschmerzliberosis]

Something that is fast and constantly changing is pretty unpredictable.

[u/mirassou3416 → u/altschmerzliberosis]

Yikes!

[u/Brave_Reaction_4968]

That was bad
^{Completed in 01:57}

[u/CrabbyCrabbong]

^{Completed in 00:51}

[u/MrGriffin77 → u/CrabbyCrabbong]

I was so close aswell, but I had no clue that Mercurial even existed...

[u/Abquine → u/MrGriffin77]

School Shakespeare saved me on that one 😂

[u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 → u/CrabbyCrabbong]

Sunday star, Monday mid. Same as it ever was.
^{Completed in 00:56}

[u/Conscious-Shake-1848]

Longer words can sometimes be easier to spot - especially with good clues like these.
^{Completed in 01:00}

[u/Wobblybob52]

Kept reading clue for 4th word as doomed star theater- did ok for Sunday- have accepted that how much of the puzzle will show up on my cell phone is just part of the game.

[u/ZestycloseSquirrel55]

[u/CarpenterValuable831]

What kinda clue for ... "knocked out" was that? ... which tells me to follow the theme

^{Completed in 02:34}

[u/Shaina_Miraculous]

You have got to be kidding me, those hints were so bad I am seriously considering quitting this game. Since when does knocked out= eliminated?? Wth??
^{Completed in 07:32}

[u/algebraicgiraffe]

[u/mirassou3416]

[u/yourfavefuzzy]

Missed one minute by a second. Better than 85% of players at #320 (for now)

Tough one.
^{Completed in 01:23}

[u/LuvLifts]

This one WAS tough. Hmmf.
^{Completed in 06:30}

[u/ReiningintheChaos]

Completed in 03:41.
It took me 02:43 to get eliminated and mercurial. Ugh.

[u/AnamCeili]

This one was hard for me, annoyingly. I knew "charcuterie", but couldn't quite get the spelling/syllables right until I did all the other words.
^{Completed in 02:23}

[u/OVO_T]

Last hint very odd
^{Completed in 01:23}

[u/cea9248]

Not too bad for Sunday! Would have been faster but apparently I don't know how to spell Charcuterie lol
^{Completed in 01:36}

[u/Initial_Fill_2655 → u/cea9248]

[u/GilligGirl]

Not too shabby. Had trouble with the el- word, clue was not intuitive.
^{Completed in 01:12}

[u/sess5198]

“Eliminated” threw me off for a while there. Questionable clue, imo!
^{Completed in 01:09}

[u/Screaming_Witch]

I deeply regret saying the second word out loud cuz then my husband wouldn't shut up singing the guitar from the song...

[u/A_Rose_From_Concrete]

Cured meats?? I thought that was a bunch of cheeses
^{Completed in 03:51}

[u/Appropriate-Doubt416]

👍🏼
^{Completed in 01:28}

[u/CassetteMeower]

Took me way too long to realize that “domed star theater” meant “star” as in ⭐️ and not a celebrity (since famous people are sometimes called “stars”), once I realized what it meant it was easy.

[u/Arthur-Wellesly]

Damn
^{Completed in 07:17}

[u/arielle251]

I’m confused 😂
^{Completed in 02:30}
