How Puzzle Page Link Words Works
Each puzzle gives you pairs of words and you supply the word that links them — one that forms a compound or common phrase with both.
Tips for Puzzle Page Link Words
- 1
Try the link word in both positions: it may come before one word and after the other.
- 2
Compound nouns are the most common answer type — think HOUSE, BOOK, WATER, BACK.
- 3
Say the pairing out loud; a real phrase sounds right long before you can explain why.
- 4
If one side is obvious and the other is not, list every compound for the obvious side and test them.
- 5
Say the pair out loud in both orders. The linking word sits after the first and before the second, and hearing it usually beats reasoning it out.
- 6
Common linkers repeat across issues — BOARD, WORK, HOUSE, LIGHT, OVER and BACK cover a large share of Link Words answers.

3 Tips for Puzzle Page
The board is the whole puzzle
Every answer is built from what the level actually shows you and nothing else. Counting that first rules out most of what comes to mind, which is quicker than trying words and being rejected.
Place the longest answer first
Long answers use up the awkward letters and leave a set that spells the short ones out for you. Starting long is consistently faster than sweeping for three-letter words.
Neighbouring levels are the best hint
Difficulty climbs gradually rather than in jumps, so the levels either side of a hard one reuse its patterns. They are more useful than any hint the game sells you.
How to Solve a Puzzle Page Level
The order that clears a board fastest.
Read what you are given
Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.
Anchor with the answers you are sure of
Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.
Work outwards
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify these answers
Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.
