# Pair Down

> Remove hidden letters to spell a secret phrase.

Daily Word game · [Play Pair Down](https://pairdown.com/) · <https://dledex.com/games/pair-down>

Every row is a word concealing extra letters. In level one, removing one letter per row must still leave a real word, and the removed letters read top to bottom spell a secret word; level two removes two adjacent letters per row to reveal a phrase. Hard mode blurs letters until clicked, and an archive holds past puzzles.
