The LoopDaily Picture Puzzle: Link Twelve Images in a Circle
The Loop gives everyone the same twelve illustrations each day, with one already fixed at the top of a ring. You drag the rest into place so that each picture connects to the ones on either side, through wordplay, a shared trait or an idiom, and you have five checks to get every spot right. It's free to play in your browser, with one puzzle a day and no account needed. There is no unlimited mode, but past puzzles can be replayed from the archive.

How to play The Loop
- Press Play; one image is already locked at the top of the ring.
- Drag the other images onto the ring so each links to its neighbours.
- Press Check: green is right, red is wrong, orange is linked but misplaced.
- Solve it within five checks, then read how each pair links.
Tips
- Look for the image with only two obvious partners and build out from it.
- Say the pictures' names aloud: many links are puns or idioms.
- Orange means a pair belongs together, so move them as a unit.
