HORSE → ____ → LACE

Can you find one word that completes both sides?

I’m the creator of Middleman, a free browser word game built around those little “oh, of course!” moments. In this example, SHOE makes HORSESHOE and SHOELACE.

Play free: https://ramimgaming.itch.io/middleman?utm_source=itch_community&utm_medium=relea...

Daily: three shared bridges, with a new challenge each day.

Rush: solve as many as you can in 45 seconds.

Endless: keep building your run without a timer.

No installation required. Type your answer and press Enter, or use the on-screen buttons. Reveal a letter when you’re stuck, then share your result with a friend.

September 11 update: the latest build is now live on itch.io.

If you try it, which mode pulls you in: one Daily session, a fast Rush, or an Endless run?
