CrissWord: Full Circle

Full Circle is the daily word-path game from CrissWord, by Chris Ward. Each puzzle is a chain of words, and every word comes with its own clue. You start at the top of the path and work down, entering one word at a time, until you return to where you began: the first and last words always share the same clue, so the path closes into a full circle.

What links each word to the next is one of four actions, shown between the rows: change one letter (swap a single letter), find an anagram (the same letters rearranged), add one letter (insert a letter anywhere) or remove one letter (drop a letter). The connector between two words turns green when the pair is a valid move and red when it is not, which is a check on the transformation itself and separate from whether your answer matches the intended word.

There is one correct answer for each step, and wrong guesses cost you points, so it rewards reading the clue before typing. A hard mode makes it tougher by hiding the lengths of the answers. The daily puzzle is numbered and the same for everyone, and it takes only a few minutes. Each one has a short theme word that its clues share. On 28 October 2026 puzzle #206 was themed "connection" and ran through four words, from a four-letter answer down to a three-letter one.

Each word has its own Hint button, and a Reveal a Word button and a Reverse Order switch sit above the path, so you can also work it from the bottom up. Finishing keeps a streak and gives you a result to share, and earlier puzzles stay open to play. The game runs in the browser with no sign-up and no ads, and it was first published on 6 April 2026 by Mento Apps Ltd.

It suits people who like word ladders, anagrams and clue-based word games, and anyone who already plays the other CrissWord puzzles.
