Chain Link Words

Chain Link Words is a daily word puzzle about compound words and common

phrases. SUN · FLOWER · POT — find the word in the middle, and the chain

grows.

SUN · FLOWER · POT

One word sits between two others and links them both. Sunflower. Flowerpot.

Find it, and the chain grows.

Chain Link Words is a word puzzle built on compound words and everyday

phrases. Each answer becomes the anchor for the next, so a chain builds

beneath you as you climb — and one wrong turn is the difference between a

clean run and a scrappy one.

FIVE WAYS TO PLAY

DAILY — Five links, once a day. Everyone gets the same chain. Keep the

streak alive.

LADDER — The long climbs, up to eleven links. No clock. Just how far you

can go.

BLITZ — Ninety seconds. How much chain can you build before it runs out?

RELAY — A finished chain with gaps in it, fillable in any order. Work

backwards, sideways, whatever gets you there.

HUB — One word in the middle. How many words can you hang off it?

RECORDS — Every past daily, still playable. Nothing expires.

BUILT PROPERLY

Every link in the game is a real compound word or a phrase people actually

say — checked against a corpus of billions of words, not a dictionary that

treats "leaflove" and "lighthouse" as equals.

Stuck? Spend a key to reveal a letter, or give up and move on. You collect

keys every day and earn more for solving unaided.
