What is Rechain?
Rechain is a daily compound word chain puzzle game. Each day at midnight, a brand new puzzle is released featuring a unique chain of words waiting to be discovered. Your challenge is to find the hidden words that link the chain together through compound words.
The game presents you with a START word and an END word, with four hidden words in between. Every pair of adjacent words in the chain must form a valid compound word.
How to Play: Step-by-Step Guide
- View the Chain — See the START and END words with four hidden slots between them.
- Select a Slot — Tap or click on any empty slot to select it.
- Enter Your Guess — Type a word that forms a compound word with both its neighbors. Press Enter to check.
- Read the Feedback — Green = correct, Yellow = right word wrong slot, Gray = not in the chain.
- Use Reveals Wisely — Reveals affect your final score.
- Complete the Chain — Fill in all four hidden words.
Understanding Compound Word Connections
Every pair of neighboring words must form a valid compound word. For example: FIRE + FLY = firefly, SUN + FLOWER = sunflower.
Worked Example
FIRE → FLY → WHEEL → HOUSE → WORK → SHOP
- FIRE + FLY: firefly
- FLY + WHEEL: flywheel
- WHEEL + HOUSE: wheelhouse
- HOUSE + WORK: housework
- WORK + SHOP: workshop
Pro Tips
- Think in both directions — each word must connect up AND down.
- Work from both ends toward the middle.
- Use yellow clues — they tell you the word IS in the chain, just in a different slot.
