Letter Trap

Letter Trap is a daily word puzzle where you spell words to surround and trap letters on the board.

Your goal is to capture the five letters needed to complete the secret word of the day.

On each turn, you choose letters from anywhere on the grid to spell a word. The letters do not need to touch.

If a letter in your word ends up with no open sides, it becomes trapped and turns green.

• Spell words using letters from anywhere on the board.
• Trapped letters have no open sides left.
• Captured letters either help complete the secret word or go into your recycle bin.
• You can drag recycled letters back onto the board to help trap more letters.

Different word choices can trap different letters, so the puzzle is as much about positioning as vocabulary.

You only get three chances each day, so planning ahead matters.

Why we like it:

• ✅A clever mix of word-building and spatial strategy.
• ✅Inspired by Go, but approachable and wordy.
• ✅Every move feels tactical and satisfying.

Hint: Don’t just look for good words. Look for words that close open sides and set up future traps.
