How to play Linxicon

Start at the corners
Look at the two starting words and think about meanings or ideas that might connect them.
Build a chain
Enter a related word. Qualifying relationships create links to words already on the board. Select a word to inspect its relationship scores; a word that forms no links needs a different connection.
Join the two sides
Keep extending your chains until the corner words are connected. Finish before reaching the board’s word limit; fewer words and stronger connections make a better solution.

Words can have several meanings. A relationship score is a game clue, not a probability or a guarantee that two words are interchangeable.

The daily game can offer a clue after enough words have been added. Practice games do not offer those daily-player clues.
