What is Vennections?

Vennections presents two overlapping circles, a pool of words to sort, and a text field asking you to type the center connection. The goal is to place each word in the correct circle and identify the single word that links both sets.

How to play Vennections

  1. Open the daily grid from the home screen. No registration is required.
  2. Review the How to Play panel, which offers a 45-second video tutorial or written instructions.
  3. Drag the suggested words into the slots within the two circles.
  4. Type the central linking word into the designated field.
  5. Use Clear to reset if needed, then tap Check to submit your answer.

The Venn diagram as a sorting board

The diagram acts as a ranking tool rather than a letter grid. You must understand the relationship between words before placing them. Typing the center word confirms that you have identified the shared concept that connects both circles.

Feedback and interface elements

Below the diagram, two counters track your progress: a row of TRIES dots showing attempts and two hint buttons labeled "1st" and "#". A timer runs at the top of the screen while you solve. The help panel offers a choice between video and written instructions but does not include detailed rules during initial verification.

Tips for solving

Start by identifying the center word. It explains why certain words belong on the left and others on the right. Once you understand the linking concept, sorting the remaining words becomes straightforward.

Watch the 45-second tutorial before your first grid. The game board does not display its rules during play, so understanding the mechanics in advance saves confusion.

Common questions

Do I need an account?
No. The home screen confirms the daily grid can be played without registering. The site plans to introduce accounts later so that streaks and statistics sync across devices.

Are my statistics saved?
Yes, in the browser. On Safari, statistics clear after seven days of inactivity, so play at least once a week to preserve your record.
