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

Stacks is a clever new daily word game from The Atlantic, where players build new words by stacking and arranging a small bank of given words horizontally. Usually, you get four words in the word bank, and your task is to drag and drop each one into the right position and order so that new valid words appear stacked on top of each other. It’s a mix of vocabulary knowledge and spatial logic, challenging you to see how words overlap and connect. Stacks offers a fresh, addictive twist on word puzzles, perfect for players who love wordplay and strategy. The puzzle updates daily at midnight EDT, regardless of your timezone or device settings.
