Your score leans hard on your weakest connection — one stretched link caps the whole route.

The best bridges change meaning mid-route — metal is a material on the left and music on the right. Hinges like this earn craft points.

Clear beats clever-but-obscure. Surprising and clear beats everything — uniqueness, precise words, and clever wordplay fill the three bonus bars next to your connectivity mood.
