Pyralinks is a daily puzzle game where every tile connects with the ones around it. Each puzzle takes the shape of a pyramid, and every connected pair of tiles must form a correct link. Swap tiles until the full pyramid is solved. Three puzzle types, with new puzzles every day: - Pyragrams: word pairs that combine to form a phrase, like "point blank" and "blank check" - Pyraphemes: word fragments that combine to form words - Pyrithmetic: arithmetic expressions formed from three numbers and an operator How to play 1. Drag one tile onto another to swap them. 2. Tap a link to mark connections you think are correct. Marked tiles move together. 3. Submit a guess. Correct links turn green and lock in place. 4. Use what you learn to fix the rest before you run out of guesses. Features - New puzzles every day - Streaks and stats to track your progress - Share a spoiler-free summary of your solve - A free account unlocks the puzzle archive and syncs your progress across devices Pyralinks Plus An optional monthly subscription that removes ads.
