Link-Up is an exciting and educational vocabulary game for native speakers and users of English at a high level, in which players have to enter two letters which complete one word and which also begin another word. Words are displayed randomly and taken from a database containing over 12,000 combinations. Any unknown words can be looked up in the onboard dictionary. The game is an excellent way of testing your existing knowledge, of learning new vocabulary, of brushing up your spelling and of challenging your brain! Playing against friends is also a lot of fun!

 The game can be played by one player only, in 'Individual Mode' or against other players or teams, in 'Competition Mode'. In 'Individual Mode' you play the game on your own. When you have entered your name, or selected it from the menu, press 'Start' to begin the game.
