Rechain for 5 October 2026: ROLLING at the top, WARD at the bottom and four empty word slots between them

Rechain is a daily word chain puzzle. Between a start word and an end word sit hidden words, and every neighbouring pair must form a compound word, as in FIRE, FLY, WHEEL, HOUSE, WORK, SHOP. Green, yellow and grey feedback guides each guess.

About Rechain

Rechain sets one chain a day, the same for every player. You see the START and END words with empty slots between them, and every adjacent pair in the finished chain forms a compound word. The example on the site runs FIRE, FLY, WHEEL, HOUSE, WORK, SHOP: firefly, flywheel, wheelhouse, housework, workshop.

You tap an empty slot and type a word that forms a compound with its neighbours above and below. Feedback is coloured: green for correct, yellow for close, grey to try again. Fill every hidden word to complete the chain.

An archive of past puzzles, streaks and statistics, sharing, dark mode and an Easy Mode come with it, with no account needed (Google sign-in syncs devices).

It suits players who like compound-word and chain puzzles.

How to play Rechain

  1. Look at the START and END words.
  2. Tap an empty slot to select it.
  3. Type a word that forms a compound with the words above and below.
  4. Read the colours: green correct, yellow close, grey try again.
