What Is Fluxis, The Atlantic’s New Word Game?

Fluxis is a daily word puzzle from The Atlantic Games where you build a loop of connected words. Each word must start with the last letter of the one before it and match a specific category. The challenge? You must loop all the way back to your starting word, forming a closed circuit.

Fluxis puzzles rotate through a range of clever word categories, each day featuring a fresh combination of rules. These categories are:

• Adjectives
• Nouns
• Double Letters
• Exactly [x] Letters
• Exactly [x] Vowels
• No repeated letters
• Letters in alphabetical order
• Alternating vowel-consonant

Availability

A new Fluxis puzzle is released every day at midnight Eastern Time (EDT) and is the same for everyone, regardless of your device time or time zone (unlike Wordle or other NYT Games, which sync to your local clock). It’s free to play daily, and access to the puzzle archive is available exclusively to Atlantic subscribers.

How the Fluxis Solver Works

Use our solver to test ideas, find connections, or complete your loop. Here's how:

1. Enter words as you go
   For each of the three word slots, you can start typing letters or full words. The number of matching options will appear beside the box. Open the dropdown to view and select a word from the list.
2. Use filters automatically
   The solver filters word suggestions based on the letters you input, today's category (like “No Repeated Letters” or “7-letter words”), and position in the chain (must start with the correct letter).
3. Try out different paths
   Add or change any word at any time. The solver updates as you explore different options.
