Word Flower: Level 2 (New York Post)

About Word Flower: Level 2 (New York Post)

The Post's games page asks: how many words can you come up with on today's Word Flower: Level 2 challenge? Try to complete today's game or play past puzzles you missed. It runs in the Amuse Labs Word Flower player, the same engine behind other newspapers' word flower games, and sits beside the Post's crossword, mini, Headline Hunters and Wordrow.

Each puzzle is filed under its date, for example Fri, Oct 2, 2026, and the date picker lists the previous seven days. Everyone who opens the same date gets the same letters. The letters are arranged as a flower: a centre letter surrounded by petals. Every word you make must contain the centre letter, and the game counts the words you find against the day's total.

The page is free, with ads, and needs no account. Level 2 is the Post's name for this flower, set apart from the simpler word games on the page.

It suits fans of the New York Times Spelling Bee and other make-words puzzles who want a free daily alternative.
