Alline is a daily browser word-and-sliding puzzle where you slide seven letters around a walled board to line up six hidden words from visible tiles before the 15-minute clock expires.
Play AllineA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Alline is a hybrid word and sliding puzzle played in your browser with one new board every day at 00:00 UTC. Each puzzle presents seven letter tiles and walls on a compact grid; every move shifts all tiles one step, so you use walls to hold some letters while others slide into place. The goal is to find the six target words that can be spelled across or down from those seven letters.
You can play Alline on phone or computer without signing up or downloading anything, and the same daily puzzle is served to everyone so results are comparable. Letters that form a valid word in a row or column light up and score; you must find all six target words from the seven letters before the 15-minute timer runs out. There is also a Duel mode where two players race on one board for points.
How to play Alline
- In Alline, swipe the board, tap the on-screen arrows, or press the arrow keys to slide the letters one step in the chosen direction.
- Each move shifts every letter tile one square, and tiles are held in place where walls block their movement.
- Line up letters in a continuous row or column to spell a valid word; spelled words light up and are scored.
- Find all six target words from the seven letters before the 15-minute clock reaches zero to complete the daily puzzle.
Tips for Alline
- Use the board walls deliberately to stop some tiles while sliding others into position for a target word.
- Plan two or three moves ahead because every move moves all tiles one step and can undo previous alignments.
- Scan for short common word fragments in rows and columns first to quickly secure easy points and reduce possibilities.
- In Duel mode, remember your opponent's tiles act as blockers, so control space and claim short words fast.
