Tips
- Start with short words to get going, then go for long ones once you have a rhythm.
- Think of prefixes: if the pair is S…T, try "sh", "st" and "sp" starts.
- When the round ends, the list of words you missed is a good place to learn a few new ones.
Frequently asked questions
How is Letter Bridge scored?
Each word scores its length minus two, so a three-letter word is worth 1 point, a five-letter word 3 and an eight-letter word 6. Longer words are worth reaching for.
Do the letters change?
Yes, every day at midnight where you are. You can play today's pair as often as you like; your best score is kept.
Which words count?
Everyday English words of three letters or more, in British or American spelling. Names and abbreviations do not count.
