About Chains: Starting Pitcher

Chains: Starting Pitcher is a free sports word-chain puzzle: a ladder of 7 hidden words where each rung forms a compound word or common phrase with the word above it, and then again with the word below. Back the STARTING PITCHER, follow the PLANT FOOT, and climb through PLAYER DEVELOPMENT to a DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE.

The chain starts from the word STARTING, which you get for free. Every rung shows only its first letter plus a themed clue, and a correct word is confirmed the instant it is complete. This ladder is rated Hard, and go the distance.

The clues for every rung are listed below in order. The words themselves, and the compounds they make, stay hidden until you solve them.

  2. Each rung below links to the word above it as a compound word or two-word phrase.
  3. Type each rung's word from its first letter and clue; hints reveal extra letters if you stall.
  4. Reach the bottom to complete the chain, then share your clean-rung count.
