Playlin'sGuide

Layers is a daily word puzzle that combines four mini-games with a final Connections-style challenge. You need to sort 16 words into four groups of four, but four of those words are hidden behind puzzles of their own.

Tap a mini-game tile to open it. Solve the puzzle to reveal its word, then figure out how that word connects with the others on the board.

  • Unlock four hidden words through LetterLock, Anagram, Crossword, and Word Search mini-games.
  • Each completed mini-game reveals one word for the main board.
  • Look for four groups of four words, with each group sharing a theme or connection.
  • Select four related words and press Confirm to submit a group.
  • You have three mistakes available, so choose your groups carefully.
  • Find all four groups to complete the puzzle.

Groups are color-coded by difficulty: Amber is easiest, Moss is medium, Surf is tricky, and Void is devious.


Why we like it:

  • βœ…Four different puzzle formats feed into one shared challenge.
  • βœ…Revealing a hidden word can change how you see the entire board.
  • βœ…There's no timer, but it's got a speedrun feel.

Hint: Solve the mini puzzles first to make sure you don't miss any obvious connections matches later.
