No. Word Connect has no timer at all. Levels never expire and nothing counts down, so you can take as long as you want on a puzzle.

There are 100 hand-crafted levels. Each gives you a set of letters and a crossword grid, and every word in the grid can be spelled from those same letters.

Bonus words are valid words you can spell from the letter wheel that are not part of the crossword grid. Finding them earns extra coins, so exploring the letters is rewarded even when it does not advance the level.

Try the Shuffle button to rearrange the letter wheel — a new arrangement often reveals words your eyes had stopped seeing. Focus on the shortest slots first, since filling those exposes letters that make the longer words easier to spot. The Hint button reveals a letter if you need it.
