Build a running chain of words where each new word must start with the last letter of the word before it. Keep the chain going without repeating a word, racing to extend it as long as you can before time or ideas run out.
How to play Word Chain
- Read the current word at the end of the chain.
- Note its final letter, since your word must begin with it.
- Type a valid word starting with that letter.
- Submit to add it to the chain and continue from its last letter.
- Keep linking words without repeating any to extend your chain.
Tips & strategy
- Steer toward words that end in common letters like 'E' or 'R' to keep your options open.
- Avoid ending on tricky letters like 'X' or 'Q' that are hard to start from next.
- Keep a few flexible words in mind so you're never stalled when the timer ticks.
Controls: Type a word and press Enter to add it to the chain.
