Word Snake (Puzzleship)

You read a clue, work out the answer, and trace its path. Diagonals never connect, and a letter used by one word is gone for the others, so each answer you trace makes the rest easier to see. The answer column shows either the letter count or the first letter, depending on the puzzle.

The six daily tabs share the grid rules and differ in clueing. Mix clues each answer only by its category, such as Birds, and shows the first letter. Clues gives a one-line definition, Two Clues joins two senses of the word with or, One Clue gives a single theme for all answers, Thematic gives a theme and a clue for each, and Associations gives three related words, such as Peak, Climb and Range.

Puzzleship publishes six Word Snake puzzles a day, one in each clue style. Each day's puzzles are numbered and dated, the same for every player, and earlier days stay playable in the archive. A new set goes up at 13:00 UTC, so players in Europe and Asia meet it in the afternoon or evening and players in the Americas in the morning. The site is free with ads, and a premium plan removes them. Puzzleship is run by Brainzil, LLC.
