This Month's Winner Is…

[Claim Expired]
Every day you will be given three words, and your challenge is to find the single word that links them all together. The correct word can be placed either before or after each of the three words to form common phrases. Some connections will be easy to spot, while others may take a bit more thought. A brand new word puzzle awaits you daily.
All you need to do is work out the missing link that connects all three words. If you get it right, you will earn 2 entries into the prize draw. Even if your answer is not correct, you will still receive 1 entry just for taking part. Your answer must form valid phrases with each of the three words to be accepted. At the end of the month, all entries will be pooled together, and one lucky winner will be drawn at random.
The competition started on 1st May 2026 and runs until the end of the month. The final question will be posted on 31st May 2026, with the winner announced here on 1st June 2026. The winner will then have 24 hours to claim their £10 cash prize. If the prize is not claimed by 11am on 2nd June 2026, it will be forfeited, and no late claims will be accepted.

Congratulations Valerie dont forget to claim 😁👍
Is your email address usually published like this when you win? Wasn’t it supposed to be just your username or first name?
Hi Hilde. No, just the name set on your profile will be displayed. If for some reason you have your e-mail address set as your name, then that would be displayed, but I would manually change it in that case. All the best, Daniel.
I don’t think there’s any point in answering the last day because the winner is already announced early again. Well done to winner. Good luck for June everyone. 👍
Totally agree Justin, I know quite a few people who have said they do this quiz in the morning, before 11am, so they will be very disappointed that it was closed after midnight.
I am one of those who do the quiz in the morning at 6am as I’m at work all day and too busy in evening. It’s really disappointing. If winners are picked on the last day of the month then shouldn’t run it for 24 hrs to submit answers. I have 2 less chances than those who do the quiz on the day itself. It’s just that not everyone has the time or opportunity to do it on the same day.
Hi Justin, As you spotted, there was a technical issue this morning which resulted in the winner being selected earlier than the usual 11am draw time. This was caused by a site update, but the problem has now been identified and corrected, so it shouldn’t happen again next month. Apologies for the inconvenience and confusion caused. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and good luck for June! Daniel
Thank you for the explanation (and apology) Daniel 👍
Is it me, or did yesterday’s word have 9 letters, 30th, and not the 8 that is now showing, as the word I had was 9 letters.
I’m afraid it was shown as 8 letters when I saw it, which was approx mid afternoon.
I checked it quite early yesterday, so it may have been put up as 9, either that or I read it wrong lol.
I am not sure about today, I have a few which match 2, but am struggling making all 3 match. Any clues?
Something to type on 🙂
That was one of them, but I’d not heard it in relation to Warrior! Thanks Justin 😊
In relation to warrior is when someone has a go at strangers online a lot, they can’t help themselves, but in real life they’d be too shy to say a word.
Anyone you can think of Hilde?
Not heard that one, but thanks Hilde
😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully that helped you get the answer. 😊👍
Sally, Tracy, I found some old posts, way down this list which I have responded to. ❤️
I loved your replies, Alison. Yes, the sweats are the worst thing. I go out anywhere, like for a meal, and when I have taken my coat off, my top is wet through all down my back, so much so that you can see it’s wet. Even at 58, I am still getting the sweats. I am not so worried about my memory, as I know it is mostly due to the pain medication, I think. That is what my OH thinks lol. Sometimes I will go out, and not bring back something he wanted me to get, and he… Read more »
Yes, we definitely drew the short straw, but we mustn’t ignore the male menopause, just think what it is like for the men who can’t afford a sports car! 🤣🤣
Disclaimer: I think someone broke into my account and said those nasty things about men, I personally would not say it, it is mean, judgemental and down right incentive… I won’t delete it though because it’s just too funny!
Ooo how intriguing – unfortunately I’m seeing this at 04:40 and hoping my sleeping stuff will kick in sometime soon, bloody insomnia 😣 just catching up on the free lotteries as I did remember at the last minute…so I hope you won’t take it amiss, but I’ll have a look later when I can give it proper attention. I always enjoy talking with you, and your comments 🥰
Ok 28th baffled me! I’ve got some right some wrong. I’ve got today’s thanks to one of the clues.
Stuck on today’s 30th….any clues anyone?
There is quite a few of them on here… Hopefully that helps 😜
It is something that can connect different devices. I hope this clue helps, and it is the right answer.
I had a 9-letter word, not 8, as it was saying 9 letters when I checked.
Tinkle the ivories…
Think of typing And what you could use 😊
any clues for today please – never got yesterdays at all 🙁
where you go on after getting married 🙂
I have a different answer again 😒
It’s annoying when 2 answers fit
fabulous thank you so much 🙂
I have a different word than what your clue is, but I think yours is the right one. It is the answer I will use. Thank you.
I hope Tracy and Stuart you both come back on tomorrow and tell us what you were thinking of, don’t leave us tantalised please! I can think of another word that fits just as well, but it has 8 letters…
‘Executive’ sadly, maybe its because of where I work / background. It was my first instinct
Mine was Furniture supplied by Co-Pilot. I had a feeling it was wrong, which was why I looked for the clues instead.
Again yesterday’s phrases were not in the dictionary. Whoever is setting these questions is not used to the usual conventions regarding word games.
Well, I agree with the sentiment totally but to be fair (NOT that I think some of the questions deserve it!) many expressions are not in the dictionary as it’s designed for single words really – btw, which one are you using that does not include the word breakfast? 😜 Only 4 of us asked a few days ago what you meant & you didn’t reply….
I don’t think I have ever heard of these “extension” ones before, I’m going to guess that not many of us got that one.
We had absolutely no idea yesterday
I put Fittings lol , Ai absolutely useless again lol
I put Shoulder as it was the first thing that came into my head when I read the words
The only one that didn’t make sense to me was soft extension but I found that it exists after searching for it.
…but those are two of the clue words, Paul?!
I think a soft extension is when you build a bouncy castle next to your house 🤣
Yes sorry, I don’t know why I didn’t put deadline. 😆
I kept doing that too Paul, forgetting which word was the guesses, at some points, I was making up my own game with my own words 🤣 Don’t feel sorry for me though, I was doing really well at my own game. 🤣
I’ve no idea why I typed extension instead of deadline. I think my brain’s going soft as well.
Me and hubby are stumped today 28th
Me too!
Yes, me too 🤷🏻♀️
I was also stumped. Now I’m confused! I can imagine ‘tight’ deadline being used, but not ‘soft’ (what on earth does that mean? – sort of ‘get it done by Tuesday, but don’t worry if you can’t’? – some deadline!), and ‘extension’?, again, not exactly a deadline. I have never heard anyone use any of these expressions. Hardly surprising that I didn’t get it.
At least today’s (29th) is more obvious, I think.
Yup we had no idea, we’ve never heard of those words used with ‘deadline ‘
Haha Jackie I basically thought exactly the same thing when I just came on and saw the answer, except I couldn’t be bothered to be quite that sarcastic in my own head but exactly the comment that question deserved! It’s like some sort of bizarre Christmas cracker joke that just doesn’t work… What sort of deadline is not really a deadline? A soft deadline! Duh dum *thud* I love word games usually, but this month has NOT been much fun, sadly 🫤 I mean there must be so many word pairings that have the same word in one or other… Read more »
And me, anybody out there got it and can offer a clue please?
I’m afraid the last two only bring one thing to mind, lucky the answer is supposed to be eight letters 🤣
Hilarious if it’s what I’m thinking , am giggling like a school kid, and I’m 62 !
I am intrigued to know what you were thinking Julie!
Hehe Julie, maybe just the two of us then! 🍆😆
I’m not sure it’s right but it fits A specific time to complete a task
I think I have the same as you Paula, but if anyone needs more help, I will add to Paula’s clue – be quick about it!
Yay got todays straight away, I don’t feel so daft now about yesterday’s x
And me, and I’m not a driver so I felt inordinately proud of myself 😁
Edit: I hope the driver bit doesn’t give the game away – or perhaps it could come as a welcome hint for anybody that is finding it tricky?!
Hubby and I don’t either x
I also got this one straight away, but I often like to confirm it with AI, just to see if we are on the same track. 😉
Normally it does ok, but I tried 5 times and all of them said the same answer, which was different to mine.
So I am going with me, I’m ignoring AI and if they are all right, I will post a scream emoji tomorrow! 🤣
Yay! Railway! AI insisted it was Traffic 🤔
Yet again I missed entering one but not the other lol
I have done the same thing a few times now.
Same here, I’ve done it several times – I blame the comments entirely!
Lol me too.
I think your right lol
May I have a hint for today please? It’s rather late so I just hope I remember to come back before 11:00 tomorrow…
I thought I had the answer straight away with ‘lunch’ but then I saw 9 letters and was totally bemused, and sadly have stayed that way! 😣
Maybe you could solve it while having your morning meal
First meal of the day
Thats if im correct
Oh my goodness, I cannot believe how silly I feel now (you and me together Alison!) – I thought of dinner after I realised it couldn’t be lunch, then went to thinking of luncheon even though that’s 8 letters so wouldn’t fit either, and then just forgot meals entirely and went down a million rabbit holes 😳🤦🏻♀️ Thank you very much Wendy 🙂 Edit: just scrolled back up to put it in, and tried it in my mind with each other the given words and it still sounds weird compared to lunch 🤨 I suppose I just don’t go to… Read more »
It’s called dinner in the northeast, breakfast, dinner and tea, ☺️I couldn’t figure it out yesterday, my hubby finally solved it x
Here in the Northwest, we say breakfast, lunch and tea; we only say dinner on a Sunday or for Christmas Day.
Haha Julie and Tracy – I’m in the Midlands and it seems to vary from person to person, can get quite confusing!
I didn’t get it straight away either Sally, it appears we both travelled down the same frustrating path, I think it was the 9 letters, in my mind that word is not that long.
Thanks Wendy… Although I’m feeling a bit stupid now, but I have an excuse, I often skip it, OK, OK, I know I shouldn’t, but it’s an excuse and it’s my excuse so I’m sticking with it! 🤣🤣🤣
Another strange one. Not in the dictionary.
?
A meal, Jeremy!
I’m interested to know what you put Jeremy, you must tell us tomorrow
Agree with Alison (as per usual it seems 😂) – do please let us know Jeremy, I’m dying to know what you thought it was now!
It’s nice that you agree with me Sally, I should swap my hubby for you… but I would feel too sorry for your family and what I’ve lumbered them with, so I’m not sure if we would work out. 💔 So sorry. I didn’t want you to find out this way! 🤣🤣
Today, the 24th is another easy one. I hope the rest will continue to be as well.
Another one, straight in, I didn’t even check the amount of letters until after I submitted.
2 to me.
0 to that annoying little doubter sitting on my shoulder!
I’m on a roll, I should do the lottery.
Me too, I like it when the answer just comes to mind instead of racking my brain trying to find it.
Same here, as soon as i saw backseat, i even said it straight away without looking at the other two words.
I think today, the 22nd, should be an easy one.
Yep, normally I like to ponder and try to think of other possibilities, but no, not today, I was decisive!
1 to me.
0 to my annoying conscience who often talks me out of eating cream cakes and internet shopping!
@Alison- ooo you lucky thing… I wonder, would you be interested in a conscience swap?!? 😁
Of course Sally, you can have my memory too, it’s great, I order loads of stuff online, forget what it is, 🤔 so everything’s a surprise, 🎁 I have a birthday nearly every day! 🎉🥳
Haha brilliant, I don’t think you would like my memory to be honest, it’s all gone to mush 😩 But before I had to go on incredibly stingy health-related benefits, I used to order loads of little things from China that would take months to come and be completely ambiguous from their packaging & so I would try and ignore the customs label telling me what it was and save them up to open when I had been a good girl and done some housework or something! Always a surprise, so I know exactly where you’re coming from 😁
It’s nice to know I’m not alone and that is an ingenious reward system! I used to have a fantastic memory, I used to wonder if people were lying when I asked a question like “where did you get that blouse” and they didn’t know, I would think there is not one thing in my house which I couldn’t tell you where and when I bought it, how much it was and if it comes in other colours. Then I think it was the menopause, I stopped being able to remember the simplest of things. Anyway, yes, I agree, that… Read more »
@Alison – oh interesting; I remember asking a while ago, on a completely different competition and I can’t remember (!) what it was that prompted me to ask, whether we were about the same age (I think the comment was too far down the page for you to notice or maybe you chose not to answer haha) but perhaps not if you’ve been through the menopause already…I am 39 and I don’t know if my memory has ever been up to much – particularly with faces or people, I used to work in a shop and I could spend ages… Read more »
I know what you mean, Alison and Sally. I started going through the menopause in my early 40s, apart from the brain fog, hot flushes and night sweats, it was fantastic, with no more monthly’s. A friend told me about a lady care magnet to ease symptoms of menopause. It does work; I have been using it for a few years. I got mine from Boots, but I am sure there will be more places that sell them. I also take very strong pain medication, both of which have made my memory shocking; I forget what things are called, so… Read more »
Yes, we appear to be very similar, I started probably around 42 and am also on so many pain meds. I did not like feeling my head was on fire and the head sweats, it would pool in my glasses, trickle down my face and neck, it made me look like I’d entered a wet T-shirt competition. 🤣
I think it also made me bad tempered, but my hubby reassured me and said “of course it hasn’t made you bad tempered, you have always been bad tempered”. I do wonder if honesty in a relationship is overrated. 🤣
I didn’t see your post, I’m 51 and already postmenopausal, there is a blood test you do 6 weeks apart, I was shocked because I come from a line if women whose menopause was terrible (it’s great to have something to look forward to, thanks mum!), but I stayed on the mini pill all the way through, so I think I missed it. I did have symptoms, but I collect chronic conditions, it’s become a hobby of mine, 🥴 so I just added sweating until it drips off my nose and my head being on fire to that list. Even… Read more »
And today’s (23) – quite a relief after the previous three, all of which I got completely wrong! Although I think computer should’ve worked for day 19… 🙄🤔
Some of these have been a bit eyebrow raising and frustrating when you come back, others I’ve just been stupid about but sometimes I just give up after a while tbh and put in the closest thing I can think of rather than spending hours and hours wondering about it!
Or even worse deciding to come back later and then forgetting so getting no points at all 😱🤣
Not buying the answer going with “pipes” as a true phrase.
it’s even more annoying when you can’t think of one
