Elf Connect
In Elf Connect, we help Angel Candysalt solve a word-matching puzzle. After earning the silver medal by finding groups of related words, we dig into the game’s code using DevTools. By analyzing the scoring logic, we bypass the normal gameplay and directly trigger the gold medal with a simple code execution in the browser console!
