Letter Link: what to know before playing

One thing to notice as you play

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

What counts as success

Find every target word from the six-letter bank. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.

The order of play

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

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.

A closer look at one example
