Sometimes they're on the same theme (chicken works for 'On the farm'). Sometimes, one word appears in a short 2-4 word phrase at the next link, even if that phrase isn't particularly linked subject-wise to the other item. The further you get out on the 'web', the more varied the subjects... Basically, you just have to keep trying things :) When you press 'Save', it will give you a link which embeds your saved state info. If you'd like, post that link here, and others can pick up from the point where you're stuck. There's even a mechanism to merge two 'saves' created like this... (Re: the last game - the word game)

Or is it just a random word that happens to have something in common with its connectors. Is there a method to the clues?
