Arabic Letter Joining Game: Letter Linkers

Learn how Arabic letters join

Letter Linkers is a free Arabic letter joining game. Practise standalone, initial, medial and final letter forms, find joining breaks and put simple words together. Each round has eight puzzles and no timer.

How to play

1. Choose a starter round or select the letters you want to practise.
2. Follow each question to match a form, decide whether letters join or build a word.
3. Use hints and answer feedback, then review any tricky connections at the end.

Which Arabic letters do not join the next letter?

Alif, Daal, Dhaal, Raa, Zaay and Waaw (ا د ذ ر ز و) do not connect to the following letter on their left. They can receive a connection from the preceding letter on their right when that letter permits it.

Do all Arabic letters have four different forms?

No. The form depends on a letter’s position and its connections. The six letters above have standalone and final forms; other letters can also appear in initial and medial forms.
