The daily theme word puzzle
Every Strings board hides a theme. Trace the theme words letter by letter, find the gold String that ties them together, and come back tomorrow for a new Daily.
Free to play. No sign-up needed.
How it works
Find the theme words
- Drag or tap letters to create words.
- Double tap the last letter to submit.
- Theme words turn blue when found.
Find the hidden "String"
- The String is the puzzle's theme.
- Touches two opposite sides of the board.
- May be a combination of words.
Need a hint?
- Earn hints by finding non-theme words.
- 3 non-theme words = 1 hint.
- Hints show theme word letters.
One puzzle, everyone, every day
The Daily is the same board for every player, so you can share your result and compare. It works like any other level, with one difference in the hints:
- Daily Challenges are a little harder.
- 5 non-theme words = 1 hint, instead of 3.
- Everything else is the same.
Why players stay
A new Daily every day
Everyone gets the same Daily puzzle, and a fresh one arrives at midnight your time. Keep your streak going, and catch up on days you missed from the calendar.
900+ themed levels
Work through more than 900 themed boards at your own pace. The levels get tougher as you go, and every theme is a new little mystery.
Hints you earn
Find extra words that aren't part of the theme to fill your hint meter. A hint shows the letters of a theme word; ask twice and it shows their order.
Trophies and streaks
Collect trophies for perfect solves, long streaks and complete months, and see how your solves stack up over time.
Play with friends
Send an invite link to add friends, then follow each other's streaks and solve times.
Calm by design
No timers you have to beat and nothing to sign up for. Light, warm and dark themes, and it works offline once a puzzle is on your device.
