A free word connect game with a crossword twist
Word Connect gives you a small circle of letters and one goal: find every real word hiding in them. Tap the letters in order, or type on your keyboard, to spell a word of three letters or more, then press Submit. Each letter tile can only be used once per word, so a word with a repeated letter needs that letter to actually appear twice in the circle.
What makes this different from a plain word list is the board above the letters: it's a real crossword-style grid, built by crossing the round's words at their shared letters, just like a real crossword puzzle. Every box starts empty, and finding a word fills its letters into place, sometimes revealing a letter that helps you spot another word crossing it. Unlike this site's Anagram Arena, a word doesn't need to use every letter in the circle, just the ones it needs.
Find every word on the board to clear it, and a fresh circle of letters with a brand new board loads right away. There's no timer and no penalty for a wrong guess, just steady progress toward a clear. Your total boards cleared is saved locally in your own browser. It's free, works with a mouse, touchscreen, or keyboard, and needs no download or account. See the Parents & Safety page for the full privacy details, or try the honeycomb Spelling Bee game, or browse the rest of the Word Games hub.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Word Connect?
Tap the letters in the circle, or type them, to spell a word of three letters or more, then press Submit. Every letter you tap can only be used once per word, and each correct word fills into the crossword board above.
Why does the board have empty boxes?
Every empty box belongs to a word you haven't found yet. Some words cross each other and share letters, just like a real crossword, so finding one word can reveal a letter that helps with another.
Do I need to use every letter?
No. Unlike this site's Anagram Arena, Word Connect words can be any length from 3 letters up, using only the letters you need, not the whole circle.
What happens when I clear a board?
Finding every word on the board counts as a clear, and a fresh set of letters and a new board loads automatically. Your total boards cleared is saved locally in your browser.
