Bridge the Rift.
Two scheduled games, two words each, infinite challenge.

JapChi is a twice-daily dual-word puzzle game for iOS. Morning Game 1 runs from 12:00 AM – 11:59 AM ET, and Evening Game 2 runs from 12:00 PM – 11:59 PM ET.

How the Rift Works

BREAD
AMEND

JapChi runs two games each day in US Eastern time: Morning Game 1 from 12:00 AM to 11:59 AM ET, and Evening Game 2 from 12:00 PM to 11:59 PM ET. In each round, two words appear on opposite sides of therift — a conceptual gap that only one hidden bridge word can close.

You guess candidate bridge words one at a time; the game scores each guess by how semantically close it sits to both target words, pulling the rift walls together with every correct attempt. When the rift fully closes, the puzzle is solved — but your score depends on how efficiently you bridged it.
