Swipe and drag to select words in the grid once they are found, starting with the first letter of the word. For an added challenge try our unique hard and expert word search modes which obscure word lists. The words used in all of our puzzles are standard English words and are of greater substance than most other word search puzzle games.

Link Up is the word association party game where the phone runs the show. Put your iPhone in the middle of the table and start talking. Each player says a word linked to the last one before the timer runs out: river, bridge, London, rain… Repeat a word, run out of time or say something unrelated and you're out. Last player standing wins. NOBODY HAS TO LOOK AT THE PHONE Link Up listens for every word, keeps the time, remembers what's been said and announces who's out. Just play. A REFEREE THAT KEEPS UP Every link is judged in the background by Apple Intelligence, right on your iPhone, so the game never stops to think. YOUR GROUP HAS THE FINAL SAY Disagree with a call? Hit HALT and overrule it. Link Up remembers your decision as a house rule, so your inside jokes count next time too. MAKE IT YOUR GAME - Presets: Classic, Party, Hardcore and Family - Turn times from 3 to 20 seconds, with an optional speed-up as the game goes on - Word packs, custom starting words and banned words - Choose whether opposites, rhymes, names and phrases count - Extra lives and halt limits - Play in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese or Hindi, or mix two languages in one chain - Three sound packs and a choice of host voices For 2 to 12 players. No accounts, no ads. The smart judge needs an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, on iOS 26 or later. On other iPhones the game still works and your group settles disputes with HALT.
