Build a word
Start with a rack of seven letters. Make a word and place it as the first row of your chain.
Five words. One chain. A new puzzle every day.
A daily word-chain puzzle where the rows build on each other and the columns hide the biggest bonuses.

How it works
One puzzle a day. Four simple moves.
Each day is a single rack of seven letters. Everything else grows out of the words you choose.
Carry three forward
Three letters from the word you just placed drop into your next rack, linking each row to the one above.
Stack a chain of five
Keep building until five words sit stacked in a chain, each one linked to the last.
Spell down the columns
When a column of placed letters reads as a word top to bottom, that vertical word pays a large bonus.
What sets it apart
The bonus hides in the columns.
Anyone can fill five rows. The depth in Anchu runs vertical. Line your letters up so a column spells a word, and you unlock the biggest scores in the game.
The best players give up an easy bonus now to set up a bigger one later. Every puzzle is a small exercise in calculated risk.
