Compound is in beta — details may change.
A fast word-bridge race. Each round shows a left and a right anchor word, and chat races to type the one word that bridges them into two compound words — CAMP → FIRE → PLACE gives campfire and fireplace. The first chatter to type the bridge claims the round; rounds run on a short timer, so it’s pure speed. Most solves across the session wins.

​
Gameplay

1

Read the anchors

A word on the left and a word on the right. Find the word that joins with both.
2

Type the bridge

No command — type the bridge word. It has to form a real compound with the left anchor and the right one.
3

Beat the clock

First correct answer takes the round; if nobody gets it before the timer, the round reveals and moves on.

​
How the bridge works

The answer sits in the middle: it compounds with the word before it and the word after it.
Two anchor words with a highlighted bridge word between them forming compounds on each side
  • Two anchors, one bridge. The bridge has to make a compound with the left anchor and a compound with the right anchor.
  • Exact word. Only the intended bridge word counts — near-misses don’t score.
  • First correct wins the round. The first chatter to type it claims the round; everyone else moves on to the next one.

Gifts

Compound has no gift mechanic — every round is a straight first-to-type race, so there’s nothing to send. Gifts still reach the streamer as normal; they just don’t change the game.

​
Scoring

  • The first correct bridge scores the round for its solver.
  • The session winner is whoever solved the most rounds; ties are shipped as co-winners.
  • Points feed the per-streamer tally behind avatar ring tiers. Wins are tracked per streamer.
