What is Circuits?
Circuits is Puzzmo's daily word puzzle by Matthew Stock and edited by Madeline Kaplan. The board shows a diagram: boxes containing words on the left connect via arrows to numbered squares on the right. Each square needs a word that forms a compound term with every box pointing to it. You close circuits one by one rather than filling a traditional grid.
How to play Circuits
Close the Puzzmo Cookies Choices window that appears over the board. Choose a numbered square, then find every box with an arrow pointing to it. Enter a word that forms a valid compound term with each connected box and tap Submit. Use Clear to erase your answer.
Work through the squares until the diagram is complete. To achieve the Double Circuit objective, reuse one of your earlier answers to solve another square.
The arrowed diagram matters because...
Most compound-word puzzles give one word and expect its partner. Circuits requires one word that satisfies multiple partners at once. The arrow layout shows these dependencies instantly. The Double Circuit objective rewards players who spot that an already-placed word can be reused elsewhere. It is construction rather than filling.
Reading the feedback
Circuits does not display a numeric score. The right column lists objectives: solve a circuit, achieve a Double Circuit, and complete the entire grid. A timer and Pause button appear at the top. A row of lightning bolts sits to the left of the Use Bolt! label near Submit.
Tips for solving
The number of arrows entering a square tells you how many constraints the word must satisfy. Read all connected boxes before proposing an answer. Words that only work with some of them will be rejected.

The right column keeps a View Full Instructions link and a Credits panel. When the three-line summary is not enough, full rules are one click away.

What is a Double Circuit?
The Instructions panel defines it as a circuit built using one of your previous answers, in addition to solving an isolated circuit.
