Link letters any direction
Trace words horizontally, vertically, or diagonally across the 5×5 grid. Any path through adjacent letters counts — just connect them before your opponent does.
Word Connect Game — Trace Letters, Capture Words
Diction is a word connect game where the connections you make are permanent. Trace a path through letters on a shared 5×5 grid, and the first player to submit a valid word captures it — no one else can score it.
Unlike classic word connect games where you solve a puzzle alone, Diction puts two players on the same board at the same time. You're not racing a timer — you're racing another person who sees the same board and wants the same words.

What makes this word connect game different
Capture beats simply connecting
It doesn't matter if you see the word — it matters who submits it first. A split second is the difference between a score and a miss.
Longer words score higher
More letters in the trace, more points. Go for the long words to pull ahead — or prioritise volume to deny your opponent their options.
