Word Chain Rules

A chain of 7 words is hidden. Each pair of neighbouring words forms a compound word or common phrase — for example "house" + "party" or "note" + "book". You are shown the first and last words plus the first letter of the adjacent words.

How to play

  1. The first and last words of the chain are always revealed at the start along with the first letter of the adjacent words.
  2. Guess either of the adjacent words.
  3. A correct guess reveals the first letter of the next unsolved neighbour.
  4. A wrong guess reveals one more letter of the word (but never the last letter).

Scoring

About Word Chain

Word chain puzzles have a long history as a parlour game and newspaper feature. This version was inspired by Wordgy, which popularised the compound-word chain format for casual online play.

The American game show Chain Reaction ran across several incarnations on NBC and GSN, where contestants raced to fill in the missing words of a chain — the same core challenge you'll find here.

Play as many rounds as you like and aim for a perfect score: 50 points per word with no wrong guesses.
