The rules

  • The grid has 25 squares and holds 25 different letters. 9 letters are given: the corners, the middle of each edge and the center.
  • Put each of the 16 letters under the grid into an empty square. Each letter is used once.
  • Every word in the list must then be traceable: each letter touches the next one, at a side or a corner.

How to play here

  • Tap a square to select it, then tap a letter to put it there. The next empty square is selected for you. Tap a selected letter again to remove it.
  • Drag a letter onto a square, from one square to another, or back under the grid.
  • Keyboard: type a letter to place it, the arrows move, Backspace deletes.
  • A word you can trace is crossed out in the list, and a line joins its letters.
  • Undo takes back the last move, and a hint shows where to look.

Difficulty levels

Level Words in the list What it takes
Easy About 16 A letter next to a given letter
Medium About 13 Also: the only letter that fits a square
Hard About 11 Also: a letter that must reach several neighbors
Expert About 11 Also: two letters that share the same two squares

Tips

  1. Start with words that use given letters: their neighbors can only go in the squares around them.
  2. A letter that appears in many words has to touch many letters: it usually belongs near the middle.
  3. Look for a square that only one letter can still reach.

FAQ

Can more than one answer work?
No. Every puzzle is checked before you see it: only one way to place the letters lets you trace all the words.
Which words are used?
Common English words of 3 to 7 letters, with no letter twice in a word.
Do diagonal moves count?
Yes. Each letter of a word must touch the next one at a side or a corner.
Is there a new puzzle every day?
Yes. Each puzzle is built from the date, so every day brings a new Letter Web at each of the four levels: easy, medium, hard and expert. Earlier puzzles are in the archive.
