About
Kindred Piles is a free daily word-sorting game that mixes theme-spotting with the digging of a card game. Find which words belong together, and work out how to get them out of the columns before the moves run out. It needs no account.
How boards are made
Boards are built from a list of 422 word themes kept with the site, across 64 topics and three difficulty grades. Each theme has six words, and each board deals four of them, so the same theme can look different from one day to another.
A new board for each level is generated from the date, at midnight local time. Before a board is used the game checks that its themes come from different topics, that cards do not clash with the listed overlaps of another theme or share a word stem with one, that broad themes do not share a board with the topics they absorb, and that a built-in solver can find a complete route. The move limit is set from that route.
