Link the Words

Every day, everyone gets the same grid of 12 words. Tap words to build a chain where each one starts with the last letter of the word before it. Every valid chain scores, and longer chains score far more.

Hidden in every grid is exactly one chain that uses all 12 words. Find it and it's worth as much as every other chain in the puzzle put together.

No ads. No accounts. The daily puzzle, hints, and the leaderboard are free for everyone.
