This page indexes every Connect Word Daily Challenge captured in February 2026 — 28 dated boards holding 4,097 answers in 958 categories. A typical board this month ran 34 categories against an archive-wide average of 34.
Because the game deletes each daily at midnight, the only way back to a February 2026 board is an archive like this one. Open any date in the table to get its stages in the game's own order, with every category and the words behind it. The month carried 708 multi-word entries, the phrases that most often leave a category looking one answer short.
Working further back or forward? December 2025 and March 2026 sit either side of this month, the daily hub lists all 607 boards, and the numbered levels run to 4,600 separate puzzles.

3 Tips for the February 2026 Dailies
Category size is not fixed — check the slots
The 28 boards this month averaged 34 categories and 146 words, but the words behind each theme vary from board to board. The five-per-category rule that holds across all 4,600 numbered levels does not apply here, so read the empty slots rather than counting to five.
Stages unlock in order, so read in order
Each board ran 3 stages on average this month and the next never opens until the current one clears. Every date page below is laid out in the game's own stage order, so you can follow it line for line without spoiling the stage you have not reached.
Play a run of consecutive days
Themes recur across nearby dates far more than they recur across the numbered ladder, so a week of dailies played in sequence gets noticeably quicker as the recurring category names start to give themselves away. December 2025 continues the run backwards, and the full archive holds 607 boards.

How we verify the February 2026 dailies
All 4,097 answers indexed on this page are read from boards captured on their own dates, stage by stage, and are never retyped or reconstructed. The per-board counts in the table are computed from the stored data at page build time, so the index cannot drift from what the date pages actually show.

How to Solve a Connect Word Board
Three habits that clear any Connect Word board, whichever mode you are in.
Read every category name first
The category names are the only clue the game gives you, and reading all of them before you touch a tile rules out most of the dictionary. A narrow theme pins its answers far harder than a broad one, which makes it the cheapest place to start.
Count the slots, do not count to five
Every category in the numbered levels holds exactly five words, so five means finished. The daily and event boards do not follow that rule — their categories hold four or five. Read the empty slots the board draws or you will abandon a theme one answer early.
Expect phrases, not just words
Roughly one Connect Word answer in six is two words rather than one. When a category sits one short, the gap is usually a phrase you have been reading as a single word.
