Summary

Welcome to LetterLinks! This word-building game gives you a daily challenge to create words on a game board, similar to Scrabble. You'll receive a set of letter tiles and need to arrange them strategically to score points. At the bottom of the screen, you'll find your letter tiles. Each letter has a point value (shown in the corner). To play, either drag a tile or tap to select it, then tap a board position to place it. The game board is where you'll place your tiles. To maximize points, use special squares: DL (Double Letter), TL (Triple Letter), DW (Double Word), and TW (Triple Word). Important: The center star square must have a tile placed on it before you can submit your score. Form valid dictionary words by placing tiles adjacent to each other, reading left-to-right or top-to-bottom. All tiles must connect to each other - no isolated groups allowed. Words must be at least two letters long. Look for special tiles in your rack! Wild cards (with a * symbol) can represent any letter - tap to select which letter you want. Some days, you might also get bonus tiles that double the score of the entire word they're part of. Check out the daily bonus challenge by tapping the gift icon (馃巵) in the top-right corner. Each day features a special word pattern that earns bonus points! Words that qualify for the daily challenge will be highlighted and earn 1.5脳 or 2脳 more points. Once you've arranged your tiles, tap "Submit Words" to score them. Invalid words will be highlighted in red. Your goal is to score as many points as possible with the available tiles. Try to use all your tiles for maximum points!
