About Letter Relay

Letter Relay is Questly’s fast browser word chain for two to eight friends. Each round begins with a starter word. When the baton reaches you, enter a new common word beginning with the last letter on the chain before the timer expires. Longer answers and faster thinking earn more points, while duplicate and invalid words are blocked instantly. Passes and timeouts add a rescue word so every match keeps moving.

How to play

How to play Letter Relay

Build a timed word chain and finish with the highest score.

Take turns adding a common word that begins with the highlighted final letter of the previous word. You have 20 seconds. A valid word scores for length and remaining time. If you are stuck, pass; the game supplies a rescue word and hands the baton onward. After every player has answered once, a fresh starter begins the next round. The highest score after the chosen number of rounds wins.

Tips for Letter Relay

• Prepare your answer while the player before you is thinking.
• Longer words score more, but a quick safe word can be worth even more.
• Watch the used-word trail — repeats are rejected across the whole match.
