Layers

What Layers is

Layers: Daily Word Connections is a word-grouping puzzle that builds upward from four separate mini-games. Each day starts with four distinct challenges, and solving each mini-game awards you one word. Once all four words are unlocked, the Final Board opens to reveal all 16 words together. Your goal is then to find the connections that link every word on that board into a complete set. A new puzzle arrives every day, so the combination of mini-games and the final board is always fresh. The puzzle is free to play in a browser, and an app version is also offered. If you enjoy daily word challenges that ask you to sort ideas into meaningful groups, this layered structure gives you a warm-up before the bigger task.

How to play

Begin by working through the four daily mini-games that make up that day's puzzle. Each mini-game, when solved, unlocks one word. After you have earned all four words, move to the Final Board, where those four words join twelve others to form a 16-word collection. From there, study the words and identify the connections that bring them together. The goal is to find the links between all 16 words, not just a few. A fresh version of the puzzle is released each day, and browser play requires JavaScript to be enabled in your browser.

Tips

1. Use the four mini-games as a warm-up: each one directly feeds a word into the Final Board, so solving them carefully gives you a clear starting set for the larger puzzle.
2. When the Final Board appears, look beyond obvious pairs and consider broader themes that could tie several words together at once.
3. Because the puzzle is daily, treat each day as a new chance to practice spotting connections among a compact 16-word set.
