Lettered

Lettered is a free web puzzle by ajhenry that launched in early 2026 and has put out a numbered puzzle every day since; 21 October 2026 was number 274. Each day has a category, such as 'cant sleep anyway' or 'spoon optional', and a phrase that fits it, cut up into pieces of connected letters. A few letters already sit on the board to get you started.

You drag the pieces from a tray onto the board. A piece can be dropped anywhere, but it belongs in exactly one spot, so the puzzle is part word game and part jigsaw: the shapes of the pieces and the outline of the grid tell you how the letters run, and the category tells you what the phrase might be. Once every piece is home the phrase reads across the grid.

The score is the number of moves you needed and the time it took. Every placement counts as a move, even a wrong one, so guessing the phrase early pays. A daily leaderboard ranks you against everyone who played, streaks reward coming back, and groups let you compare with friends. A separate Daily Hard puzzle with its own category is there for a tougher second round, an endless mode keeps going after both are done, and signed-in players can go back through the archive of past days.

It suits players who like short daily sessions with a spatial twist: most puzzles take a couple of minutes, and the trick is to read the phrase before you finish placing it.
