What is Word Chains?

A free word puzzle where every word links to the next. Each neighboring pair makes a familiar compound word or phrase. You get the first word and the first letter of each word after it. Work out the rest, one link at a time.

EXAMPLE CHAIN

weight room · room service · service dog

The trickEvery word has to work twice: once with the word before it and once with the word after.

The Daily Puzzle is one shared chain for everyone, new every day. Want more? Versus lets you race a friend, and Random pulls a chain from the library.

How it works

  1. 1

    Start from the top word

    The first word is given. Every word below it shows only its first letter.

  2. 2

    Find the missing link

    Each pair of neighbors forms a familiar phrase, like WEIGHT ROOM, then ROOM SERVICE.

  3. 3

    Keep your points

    Each link is worth 10. A wrong guess shows the next letter and costs 2; a clue costs 3.
