Pillars

BEGINS 8/1/26

I created a word puzzle game for The Philadelphia Inquirer! Each round gives you two color-coded pillars containing three words and a blank. Your challenge is to figure out the relationship between the pair of words at the top of the pillar, then apply that same relationship to the third word and its connected blank to figure out what’s missing. The combined answer formed by solving both of the pillars always relates to Philly—so if you figure out one side, your knowledge of the city might help you with the other! Play Pillars online every Saturday in the Weekend Edition.

The first Pillars goes live on Saturday! For now, create a free Inquirer account to be ready to play when it drops.
