The Sky Words daily puzzle for January 26, 2026 holds 15 words, listed below with their letter counts. The longest is AEEIMNX at 7 letters.

As with the main game, every answer is built from a single shared letter set, so the quickest way to find a missing word is to match the length of the slot you are stuck on against the list below rather than reading it end to end.

Every day we have on record is kept in the daily archive, and the days either side of this one are linked at the foot of the page.

How Sky Words Works

The rules that decide what counts on any Sky Words day.

1

Read the letter set

Every answer in a level uses only these letters. Anything containing a letter outside the set is wrong by definition.

2

Place the longest word

The longest answer usually uses every letter and anchors the board. Once it is placed the crossings narrow everything else.

3

Fill the short crossings

Most missed answers are three and four letter words sitting across the long one. Work the crossings, not the list.

Sky Words Tips & Strategy

Starting with what today's puzzle in particular rewards.

1

Longest today is AEEIMNX

At 7 letters it uses most of the set — place it first and the shorter answers follow from the crossings.

2

Start from the letter count

The board tells you how many letters each answer needs before you know the word. Count the squares, then look for a word of exactly that length in your set.

3

Long word first, always

In most Sky Words levels one answer uses every available letter. Finding it fixes several crossings at once and turns the rest into fill-in-the-blank.

4

Watch for plurals and tenses

If the set contains an S, expect at least one plural. If it contains an E and a D, expect a past tense. These are the answers people most often miss.

5

Use the board shape

Two answers crossing at a fixed letter is a much stronger clue than the letter set alone. The rendered board on every level page shows you those crossings directly.

6

Check the neighbours

Level numbers near each other often reuse similar letter sets. If you are stuck, the previous and next levels are linked at the bottom of every page.
