Chain Letters

Every word changes the board.

A word puzzle on a colorful board of letter tiles. Trace through neighboring letters to spell a word, lift your finger, and watch fresh tiles fall into the gaps it leaves.

    Drag across tiles that touch, in any direction, then let go. A word in one color scores double, or triple from five tiles. Can you find one?

    A look at the game

    Every word you clear lets the tiles above fall and new ones drop in, so the next word is always somewhere new.

    How it plays

    Simple to start, with plenty to find once you look past the first word you see.

    Trace in any direction

    Chains link tiles that touch horizontally, vertically or diagonally, and can turn at any tile. Slide back to undo the last letter. An invalid chain costs nothing.

    Longer words, bigger scores

    Points grow quickly with every extra tile. Dotted tiles, J, X, Z and Qu, add 100 points each.

    One color, more points

    A word whose tiles share one color scores double, or triple from five tiles, and earns a wildcard ★ that stands for any letter.

    Special tiles

    Four-tile words earn clock tiles that add time. Five-tile words earn bombs that clear their neighbors, and longer words earn cross bombs that clear a whole row and column.

    Race the clock

    You start with 60 seconds, and every word adds time, a little less as the game goes on. The clock stops while tiles clear and fall.
