In this minimalist game, you're given a few rows of words, some letters in common. Guess the letters. If you run out of guesses, or even before, you can buy another guess, but the cost is a new word to solve. This will have some letters in common with the words there before, which might help you... or might be an extra pain. Solve that word? Congratulations! Your next word will be one letter longer. Earn your way to the largest word in the English language. This game is released absolutely free, no ads, no data collection. It was fun for me, so I hope it's fun for you.

Close the loop. Clear the board. The glowing neon wire puzzle for brain-teaser fans! You won't be lost in the ads too! It is Addictive and Amazing! CIRCUIT: LOOP PUZZLE is a relaxing yet challenging logic puzzle about electricity. Drag wire pieces onto an 8×8 board, close a circuit into a loop and watch it light up, charge and blast away. Easy to learn, hard to master and beautiful to play: a block puzzle with a spark. HOW TO PLAY • Place wire pieces on the board. • Close a circuit to make a loop: it discharges and clears itself and the tiles around it. • Chain loops back to back for combos and huge scores. • Plan ahead. If the board fills up, the power goes out! 4 WAYS TO PLAY • QUICK PLAY: an endless puzzle with Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty. Beat your own best score. • JOURNEY: 300 handcrafted puzzle levels in 30 sectors with locks, ice and Power Nodes. Collect up to 3 stars on every level. Finish the first 100 levels to unlock a second journey. • DAILY CIRCUIT: a fresh daily challenge, the same for every player. Keep your streak burning. • DUEL: challenge a friend in a 3-minute LIVE DUEL, send locks onto your rival's board, or race for the higher score in a score race. Invite friends with a store link and a 6-letter code, then play a rematch. CHAIN CURRENT AND STORM NIGHT • Chain Current: when a loop goes off, electricity jumps to open circuits nearby. Close a charged circuit in time to multiply your points. Plan your dominoes! • Storm Night: lightning is coming. A cell is marked and the bolt strikes a few moves later. Close a loop right beside it to catch the lightning and trigger a SUPER BLAST. THE JOURNEY: 30 SECTORS, 300 LEVELS Every sector brings a new idea. Break locks, crack frozen circuits, power up Power Nodes, ride the Chain Current and survive Storm Nights. Levels go from gentle warm-ups to fiendish brain teasers, and every level can be mastered with 3 stars. Sectors like Neon Dawn, Storm Front, Copper Maze and Beyond the Loop take you from beginner to circuit master. DUEL: PLAY WITH FRIENDS Same pieces, same board, who wins? Create a duel, share the invite and the 6-letter code, and see who builds the better circuit. Score races can be played any time, while LIVE DUELS run for 3 minutes at the same time with locks you can drop on your rival's board. Ask for a rematch as often as you like. EVERY DAY A NEW REASON TO PLAY Daily Circuit challenges, a growing collection of circuit colours, board styles and effects, and a streak to protect. The daily reminder is optional and can be turned off in Settings. QUICK ANSWERS • Is it free? Yes, free to play. One small optional purchase removes ads. • Do I need internet?
