RelayWords
RelayWords is a daily word puzzle where you guess four linked five-letter words in nine shared guesses, with each answer beginning with the last letter of the previous one and a new puzzle every day.
Play RelayWordsA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
RelayWords challenges you to solve four five-letter words at once using a single pool of nine guesses. The boards form a chain: each solution starts with the final letter of the previous solution. The game emphasizes linked thinking across boards rather than independent Wordle-style puzzles, and some days include a hidden theme that ties the answers together for bonus recognition.
The game is free to play, requires no account, and the site presents the puzzle without ads. It provides daily hints for players who get stuck. The interface and precise hint mechanics are not detailed on the page, but the core rules are clear: four boards, five letters each, nine collective guesses, and a daily reset with a new puzzle every day.
How to play RelayWords
- Open RelayWords and view the four empty five-letter boards arranged in sequence.
- Type a five-letter word as your first guess; that guess applies to all four boards simultaneously.
- Observe which letters are correct, present, or absent on each board according to the game's feedback.
- Make subsequent guesses, up to a total of nine, using feedback from all boards to narrow each answer.
- Remember that each board's solution must start with the last letter of the previous board's solution.
- Use daily hints if available when you are stuck, and continue until you solve all four words or exhaust your nine guesses.
Tips for RelayWords
- Start with a guess that uses common letters and varied positions to maximize useful feedback across all four boards.
- Pay attention to the chain rule: a plausible ending letter on one board constrains the starting letter on the next.
- When you confirm a last letter on an earlier board, use that knowledge to target likely initial letters for the following board.
- Balance solving one board completely with progressing the others; game success depends on all four answers within nine guesses.
- Look for days when a hidden theme might suggest a family of words to prioritize when choosing guesses.
