LetterFlow.
Find a word before the moment passes.

LetterFlow is a word game built around a moving stream of letters. Select letters to make dictionary words, submit them and keep watching for your next opportunity. It combines word finding with the pace of a changing board.

01 / The essentials

How to play LetterFlow.

  1. Choose letters from the moving stream in the order you want them to appear in your word.
  2. Make a dictionary word of at least three letters, then submit it. If the word is not accepted, revise your selection and try another.
  3. Keep finding words as the letters move. Longer words can be rewarding, but a word you can finish is more useful than one whose letters disappear.

02 / Find your rhythm

A few ways to get started.

Start with a small word

Spot a familiar three- or four-letter word first. Once you are comfortable with the movement, look for ways to extend it.

Watch for useful endings

An S or a familiar ending can open more possibilities. Check the letters that are actually available before committing to a long word.

Choose your kind of word game

LetterFlow is about choosing from visible letters. If you prefer typing whole words and linking their endings, try Word Chain.

A few useful answers.

How is LetterFlow different from Word Chain?

LetterFlow asks you to build words from moving letter tiles. Word Chain asks you to type a word beginning with the last letter of your previous word.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. LetterFlow runs in the browser and uses selectable letter tiles. A Hestworks sign-in is required to play.
