How to play Word Chain, the daily word link puzzle
Word Chain is a daily word link puzzle. Each pair of neighbouring words in the chain forms a familiar English compound word or phrase, like rain and coat, or coat and hanger. Some links are missing.
Pick a gap, then choose the word from the bank that joins both of its neighbours. The bank also holds words that do not fit.
A new board goes live at midnight in your time zone, easy at the start of the week and hardest on Sunday.
Strategy tips
- Read both directions. The missing word must finish the word before it and start the word after it. Check both.
- Try the easy end first. Fill the gap you are surest of. Each answer narrows the bank for the rest.
- Say it out loud. Compounds such as fire truck or sun flower often sound right before they look right.
- Use a hint. Hint shows the first letter and length of the missing word.
