Pyralinks
Daily pyramid puzzles. Rearrange the pyramid, solve the puzzle.
Pyralinks is a free daily puzzle game that challenges you to think in layers. Each puzzle presents a pyramid of items - words, numbers, or other media - and your job is to rearrange them so that every parent-child pair shares a meaningful link. Each placement ripples through the structure: an item that fits one link might break another, so you have to reason about the whole pyramid at once. Multiple new puzzles are published every day across different puzzle types, and the game is available in your browser as well as on iOS and Android.
Whether you enjoy crosswords, number games, or logic puzzles, Pyralinks offers something different. The pyramid structure creates interlocking constraints that reward careful deduction over guessing. Swap items and mark links to organize your thinking, then submit a guess to see which links you got right. You have a limited number of guesses, so plan carefully before committing. When you finish, share your results with friends and compare how you did. It takes seconds to learn but the harder puzzles will keep you thinking.
What Is Pyralinks?
Pyralinks is a daily puzzle game built around a pyramid structure. Each puzzle presents a set of items arranged in a tree-shaped pyramid, and your goal is to rearrange them so that every connected pair shares a meaningful relationship. The items might be words with semantic links, numbers with mathematical relationships, or other types of content. The catch: each item you place affects what works above and below it, so you need to think about the whole structure at once.
Unlike crossword puzzles or simple matching games, Pyralinks requires you to reason about multiple overlapping constraints simultaneously. An item that seems perfect for one position might break the link somewhere else in the pyramid. That interplay between local matches and global consistency is what makes each puzzle satisfying to solve.
Multiple Puzzle Types
Pyralinks features several types of puzzles. Word puzzles challenge you to find semantic links between words, while math puzzles test your ability to spot numerical relationships. Each type has its own daily puzzle, giving you multiple fresh challenges every day. Your completion history is saved automatically so you can track your progress over time.
Play Anywhere
Pyralinks is available as a web app that runs directly in your browser, and as native apps for iOS and Android. The interface adapts to your screen size, and touch controls are fully supported on all platforms. Pick up a puzzle on your phone during a commute, or sit down and solve one on your laptop at home.
Share and Compete
Pyralinks is designed to be a social experience. After completing a puzzle, you can share your results - number of guesses, swaps, and solve time - with friends, family, or on social media. Sharing is spoiler-free: your results show how you performed without revealing the solution, so everyone can compare their approach to the same daily puzzle. Many players make it a daily ritual to share results and see who solved it in fewer guesses, more quickly, or with fewer swaps.
How to Play Pyralinks
Each Pyralinks puzzle gives you a pyramid of items and asks you to arrange them so that every parent-child link is valid. You have a limited number of guesses to solve each puzzle, so the key is to build up your solution carefully before submitting. Here is the general approach:
Study the items. Look at all the items in the puzzle. Think about which ones might be related to each other. For word puzzles, consider colocations, compound words, or categories. For math puzzles, look for numerical patterns and operations.
Arrange the pyramid. Drag items from one node to another to swap their positions. Each node in the pyramid is connected to the nodes directly above and below it. Your goal is to arrange items so that every link is valid.
Mark links to help you think. Click on edges between nodes to mark links you believe are correct. This is optional but helpful: it lets you lay out your reasoning visually, and linked items move together when you rearrange the pyramid, making it easier to manipulate groups of items as a unit.
Submit your guess. When you are confident, submit a guess. The game will reveal which links are correct. Use that feedback to refine your arrangement and guess again. The puzzle is complete when every link in the pyramid is correct.
Understanding the Pyramid Structure
The pyramid is a tree with one item at the top (the root) and progressively more items on each level below it. Every item is connected to one parent above and two children below. The relationships flow in both directions: an item must make sense with its parent and with each of its children. This layered constraint system is what distinguishes Pyralinks from flat matching games.
Controls
- Swap items: Drag one node onto another to swap their positions in the pyramid.
- Mark links: Click or tap on an edge to mark a link you think is correct. This helps you organize your reasoning and causes linked items to move together when swapping.
- Guess: Submit your arrangement to see which links are actually correct. You have a limited number of guesses per puzzle.
Results and Sharing
When you complete a puzzle, Pyralinks shows your results: the number of guesses it took, how many swaps you made, and the total time to solve. You can compare your performance across puzzles and track how your results improve over time. You can also share your results with friends or on social media - the shared summary shows your performance without spoiling the solution, so others can still enjoy solving the same puzzle themselves.
Strategy and Tips
Pyralinks rewards careful reasoning over random guessing. With a limited number of guesses per puzzle, building up your solution before committing is essential. Here are some strategies that experienced players use to solve puzzles more efficiently:
Mark Links as You Reason
Marking links is not required, but it is a powerful thinking tool. As you work through the puzzle, mark edges you are confident about to externalize your reasoning. This helps you spot inconsistencies before guessing, and because linked items move together when you swap, it makes rearranging larger sections of the pyramid much easier.
Work the Edges
The bottom row of the pyramid (the leaves) has the most items and the fewest constraints per item, since each leaf only connects to one parent. Starting from the bottom can help you identify groupings before tackling the more constrained positions higher up.
Think About the Root
The item at the top of the pyramid links to both of its children, which in turn link to theirs. Since the root must work with multiple items below it, identifying it early narrows the possibilities for the rest of the pyramid and can guide all your other placements.
Use Feedback Wisely
After each guess, correct links are revealed. Use this information to anchor the parts of the pyramid you got right and focus your swaps on the remaining incorrect links. Each guess gives you more information to narrow down the solution.

No. You can play immediately without signing up. Creating an optional account lets you sync your progress across multiple devices, but all gameplay features work without one. Your puzzle history is saved locally on your device.
What types of puzzles are available?
Pyralinks currently offers word puzzles and math puzzles, each with their own daily challenge. Word puzzles involve semantic links between words, while math puzzles involve numerical relationships. Additional puzzle types may be added in the future.
How many guesses do I get?
Each puzzle gives you a limited number of guesses. When you submit a guess, the game shows you which links are correct, so you can use that feedback to improve your next attempt. The challenge is to solve the puzzle within the allowed number of guesses.
Can I share my results?
Yes. After completing a puzzle, you can share a spoiler-free summary of your results. The shared summary includes your number of guesses, swaps, and solve time, but does not reveal the puzzle solution. You can share via text message, social media, or any app that supports your device's share functionality. It is a great way to compare results with friends who are solving the same daily puzzles.
