Meet the doctor
Dr. O'Babel, your friendly psychoanalyst, plans to treat you via his specialty: word association therapy. He starts you out with a carefully chosen word or two and then challenges you to complete the session by guessing related words.
Keep following the associations to reveal unexpected connections, surprise themes, jokes, puns, and more.
Unlimited Hints!
Stuck? Drag the lightbulb to any cloud to reveal a letter. After recharging for a few seconds, the lightbulb will be ready to serve again.
You can play it however you like — no hints at all if that's your style, or with unlimited hints to keep the ideas flowing.
