Lexical Patterns:
Mastering the Word Link

The Psychology of Play

Finding a hidden word triggers a release of dopamine in the brain's reward center. Word Link is designed as a "contained challenge" - a puzzle with a logical solution that provides order in a chaotic world.

The Suffix Sweep

Master strategy involves identifying common endings like -ING or -ED first to reveal root words hidden in the scramble.

Pattern Recognition

Rotate the wheel to break "functional fixedness," a mental block where you keep seeing the same incorrect patterns.

Pro Strategy: Vowel Pivot

"Focus on the vowels first. They are the structural anchors of every word in the grid."
