Word Loom: Word Connect

Spell words from one set of letters. Weave them into the crossword above.

A wheel of letters at the bottom. A crossword waiting above it.

Drag across the letters to spell a word. Get one that belongs on the board and it drops into place, and every letter it leaves behind is a letter the next word can cross.

Every answer uses the same handful of letters, so the wheel is never a guess about which letters exist — it is the whole alphabet this level has. What you are really doing is finding which arrangements of six letters are words.

Spell a real word that is not on the board and it still counts. You get paid for it and it goes in your bonus list. A game that tells you APE is not a word when APE is a word is a game that is wrong, so this one does not.

Boards are woven, not printed. The generator lays each answer across the ones already placed and then reads every row and column back to prove each one is a real word, so a board never contains an accidental run of letters that spells nothing.

The dictionary is ENABLE, the standard public word list — no abbreviations, no names, nothing you have to be a crossword compiler to know. Answers are drawn from ordinary English, and the three-letter words were written out by hand rather than scraped.

No timer, no lives, no way to lose. A chain that spells nothing is simply let go of. Shuffling the wheel is free and unlimited, because staring at the same ring of letters is the rut it gets you out of. Hints uncover one letter when you want one, and that is the only thing the stars count.
