How it works

  1. 1
    See the ends

    You get the first and last word of the chain and the first letter of every word in between.

  2. 2
    Link the words

    Each neighbouring pair makes a compound word or phrase. Fill them in from the top, the bottom, or both.

  3. 3
    Dare your friends

    Share a link that shows your time. They play the same chain free, no sign-up, and try to beat you.

Questions

Is it really free?+

Yes. Today's chain is free for everyone, forever, with no account needed. Pro ($2/month) adds endless mode, the full archive, custom chains and private leagues.

How do the chains work?+

Every pair of neighbouring words makes a compound word or common phrase, like SNOW·BALL or BALL·PARK. You get the first letter of each hidden word and a new letter for every slip.

When does a new chain appear?+

At midnight, wherever you are. Everyone in the world gets the same chain on the same day, so you can compare with friends.

How do I challenge a friend?+

Finish a chain and tap “Challenge friends”. They get a link that shows your time and score, and they play the same puzzle, free, no sign-up.

How do I cancel Pro?+

Two taps from your account page, any time. You keep Pro until the end of what you've paid for.
