Letter Link: what to know before playing

A focus for your next round

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What the game asks you to do

Find every target word from the six-letter bank. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Start here and follow along

  1. Select letters in order, each tile once per word.
  2. Submit the word.
  3. Clear letters to retry.
  4. Find all displayed word lengths.

How to interact with the game

Tap letters and Submit word. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Try this example

PLANET makes PLANT, PLANE and PETAL. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.

An important reminder

Not every dictionary word is a target in this curated list. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
