Find every word in the list by dragging through touching letters, up, down or sideways. Together the words make one path through every square: each word starts on the last letter of the one before.
The grid is filled with letters, and the list under it shows the words to find.
Drag through touching letters to spell a word: up, down or sideways, never diagonally, and never the same square twice. You can start at either end of the word.
Together the words make one path through every square: each word starts on the last letter of the word before. That shared letter is the only square two words can use.
The puzzle is solved when every word is found and every square is covered.
How to play here
Drag from the first letter to the last (or back). A found word gets a colored line and is crossed out in the list.
A spelling that crosses a word you already found is not accepted: the line shakes.
Keyboard: the arrows move, Space adds a letter, Enter adds it and checks the word, Escape cancels.
Undo takes back the last word, Check shows a word in the wrong place, and a hint shows where to look.

Tips
Start with long or unusual words: they often fit in only one place.
A corner square has only two neighbors, so few words can pass through it.
Look for a square no found word covers yet: if only one word can still reach it, that word goes there.
FAQ
Can more than one answer work?
No. Every puzzle is checked before you see it: only one way to place all the words covers every square.
Which words are used?
Common English words of 3 to 9 letters. Easy and medium use 3 to 7 letters, hard and expert 4 to 9.
Do diagonal moves count?
No. Each letter of a word must touch the next one at a side: up, down, left or right.
What if a word fits in two places?
You can find it in either place, but only one of them leaves room for the other words. Use Check or a hint to see if a word is in the wrong place, and Undo to take it back.
Is there a new puzzle every day?
Yes. Each puzzle is built from the date, so every day brings a new Word Links at each of the four levels: easy, medium, hard and expert. Earlier puzzles are in the archive.
