Linky Words vs Fourword Progress

Linky Words is a daily word puzzle you play by linking letters. Letters sit in a grid and you drag through them - across, down or diagonally - to trace the hidden words. Every level belongs to a topic, so the words you uncover are related to each other. What you get: 32 categories in four collections. Classic (Animals, Art, Beach, Camping, Computers, Family, Food, Games, Languages, Maritime, Monsters, Science, Sports and Veggies), Geography (Countries, Capitals, Rivers, Mountains, Seas, Deserts and Islands), Mythology (Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian and Hindu) and Word Origins (French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Arabic and Indian), which groups English words by the language they came from. 312 levels across those 32 categories. They start on 3x3 grids and grow from there. A daily challenge of 10 levels. The day's puzzle is the same one for every player in the world. Miss a day and you still have six more days to play it from the daily screen; on the seventh it moves to the archive, which goes all the way back to the first daily puzzle on 1 September 2026. Finish the day and share your squares. No time limit, no pressure. No clock is pushing you, so you can play at your own pace, and play offline. A timer does run while you play and your time is shown when you finish a level, but nothing is ever lost to the clock. Hints are the one thing that can run out: you get some each day, more for keeping a streak going, and you can watch a short video or buy a pack when you want extra. Spelling practice. Tracing a word letter by letter reinforces how it is written. Linky Words is English spelling and word-recognition practice, not a class: no lessons, no grammar drills, just real words grouped by topic to recognise and remember. Good for beginner and intermediate levels, and for anyone who likes a quiet puzzle. Ads and purchases. Linky Words shows a banner while you play and a full-screen ad after some levels. One Remove Ads purchase takes both away for good, and hints can be earned by playing or bought in packs. Download Linky Words and play a few minutes a day.
