How to Play Word Chain

Word Chain is a fast, casual word game: type a word that starts with the last letter of the previous word before your timer runs out. Chain as many words together as you can — APPLE leads to EAGLE, EAGLE leads to ELEPHANT, and so on. You can't reuse a word twice in the same run, and the timer gets shorter the longer your chain grows, so the pressure builds fast.

Tips to Beat Your High Score

Chain consecutive correct words for a Combo multiplier

Every correct word in a row raises your combo multiplier, up to x5. A mistake doesn't end your run — an already-used word just halves your combo instead of wiping it out, so you can keep pushing for a new record.

Trigger Fever Mode

Land 10 correct words in a row and Fever Mode kicks in, doubling your score for the next 3 words. Stacking Fever with a high combo multiplier is where the biggest scores come from.

Answer fast for a Speed Bonus

Answering in under a second earns a Speed Bonus, and under half a second earns a Lightning bonus — reflexes matter as much as vocabulary.

Think ahead for hard letters

Words ending in Q, X, Z, or J are trickier to continue — picking a common word instead when you have a choice keeps your chain easier to extend.
