How to play Letter Link

Choose a round of Letter Link and settle into its rules. Find every target word from the six-letter bank. Use the example below to understand a decision. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Make words from two letter sets: PLANET and STREAM. Each set uses a selected list of accepted answers.

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Find every target word from the six-letter bank. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Step by step

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.

Controls

Tap letters and Submit word. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

PLANET makes PLANT, PLANE and PETAL. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Not every dictionary word is a target in this curated list. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
