How Family Connect works

One person starts — you get your next puzzle in order (everyone begins at #1).
Share the 6-character code or link with one family member.
They join — you both fill the same grid (your letters stay yours).
Video & talk are optional — enable only if you want them.

Puzzles play in order. After the library, the content repeats as #1237, #1238… — your stats keep going. Two players only.
