The Letter Link playbook

Practice beyond the first move

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What the game asks you to do

Find every target word from the six-letter bank. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Making your moves

  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.

How to interact with the game

Tap letters and Submit word. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

Work through an example

PLANET makes PLANT, PLANE and PETAL. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.

One detail worth checking

Not every dictionary word is a target in this curated list. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
