The classic word chain, played live against a real opponent. Match via Game Center, catch the last letter, score with the longest word. Offline practice mode included.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The Turkish dictionary now uses only TDK headwords: inflected words like "evler" or "paraydı" no longer count. If you type one, you don't lose your turn; we suggest the base form instead. For Turkish words ending in "ğ", the chain continues from the second-to-last letter.
The score bar now matches the chain: you on the right, your opponent on the left. Friend invites play in the room's mode, and you can resign even when it's not your turn. Plus an in-app update notice, refreshed page headers and Settings text, and various fixes.
