Crack the
Expression

Three useful expressions for work and everyday conversations. Can you solve all three, one clue at a time?

Guess early for more points—or take another clue. No timer. Just a little English detective work.

Three expressions. Twelve points to chase.

Each expression starts with one clue. Enter a guess or reveal the next clue whenever you like.

How the points work

Solve after clue 1 for 4 points, clue 2 for 3, clue 3 for 2, or clue 4 for 1. Each incorrect guess subtracts one point, but a correct answer always earns at least 1. Revealing the answer earns 0. A single-letter spelling slip or two swapped neighboring letters get a chance to be corrected without a penalty.

Your first completed result is saved. You can play again whenever you like.
