How to play Lexigo

Lexigo is a daily word-chain puzzle. You’re given a board of letter tiles and a list of clues. Your job: solve each clue and use the connecting letters to chain through the whole board.

The rules

• Each clue is a word. Solve it like you would a crossword clue — sometimes it’s a definition, sometimes a wordplay hint.
• Words chain together. The last letter of one answer is the first letter of the next.
• Use every tile, exactly once. When you’ve placed all the words, every letter on the board has been used.
• One puzzle a day. A new Lexigo drops every day. Once you’ve solved today’s, you’re done until tomorrow.

How to use this site

Stuck on one clue but not the rest? Click that clue and we’ll show you only the answer for that word — tiles, letter count and a quick hint — without spoiling the others.

If you want all of today’s answers in one go, head to the homepage or the date page for any past puzzle.

A few hint-style tactics

• Start with what you know. Even a single confirmed answer locks in two letters (its first and last), narrowing the next clue.
• Count letters. Every clue page tells you the answer length. Match that against the unused tiles on your board.
• Watch for wordplay. Lexigo loves a slightly punny clue. If a definition seems weirdly worded, the answer might be playing on a double meaning.

Our advice: try the puzzle first. The satisfaction of cracking a clue yourself is the whole point. Use this site when you’re stuck on the last one or two — not as a shortcut to the finish line.
