Zigzag

Zigzag is a daily word puzzle where your mission is to spell 20 hidden five-letter words by picking one letter from each of five columns.

The grid holds exactly 20 words. Ten are basic words, common enough that you'll spot them without help. Ten are bonus words, each paired with a definition listed alphabetically below the grid. Your job is to find them all.

• Pick one letter from each column to build a five-letter word.
• Completing the fifth column submits your word automatically.
• Basic words give 3 points each and come without clues.
• Bonus words give 7 points each and have definitions to guide you.
• Find all 10 bonus words and any 10 basic words for a perfect 100 points.
• The timer tracks your speed but never runs out. Take as long as you need.

Each daily puzzle refreshes the grid and the word list. If you get stuck, you can reveal all remaining words and call it a day.

Why we like it:

• ✅The split between clued and unclued words keeps you hunting on two tracks at once.
• ✅Perfect score is always 100, making every puzzle feel complete and tidy.
• ✅No pressure from the timer means you can chip away at it between tasks.

Hint: Start with the bonus definitions. They narrow your options fast, and each one you solve opens up letter patterns that help you spot the basic words hiding nearby.
