Daily four-move word puzzle
Today’s Twixtle answer and hints for July 18, 2026, puzzle #122, with the PEAKING to SHOPS path, all four move types, and spoiler-safe word reveals.
Today’s Twixtle answer for July 18, 2026, puzzle #122, transforms PEAKING into SHOPS in exactly four moves. The move types and three missing words stay hidden until you choose to reveal them.
Twixtle uses each relationship once: anagram, verb form, homophone, and compound word. Start with the move-type hints, reveal the middle words one at a time, or open the complete solution path.
Four moves, one path
Transform PEAKING into SHOPS. Reveal the move types as hints, then uncover the three missing words.
Build the bridge
Each move type is used exactly once. Let the most restrictive relationship anchor the path, then use the remaining move types to fill the gaps.
Cross off anagram, verb, homophone, and compound as you identify them. A move type cannot be used twice in the same solution.
The anagram keeps exactly the same letters, so it is often the easiest and most restrictive relationship to identify first.
Either word may come first in the closed compound. Test both orders when a pair seems unrelated on the surface.
The start and end words are fixed. Build inward from whichever endpoint offers the clearest homophone, verb form, or compound partner.
