WoW Connect 2 is a fan-made Flash puzzle game that blends Mahjong Connect-style gameplay with the dark, icy aesthetic of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. Serving as a spiritual sequel to the original WoW Connect, this version expands the tile set with even more ability icons, adds themed items, and includes a password system to save your level progress. It’s a simple yet addictive logic game tailor-made for both WoW fans and casual puzzle lovers.
How to play WoW Connect 2
Game Objective
Clear the board by matching identical World of Warcraft-themed tiles using specific connection rules. A match is valid only if a straight or L-shaped path (with up to two 90-degree turns) can connect the two tiles without crossing other icons. You must complete each level before the time runs out.
Controls
- Mouse Click – Select matching tiles
- Items – Use special power-ups (such as reshuffle, reveal, or remove) from the toolbar
- Password Field – Enter a level code to resume progress
Gameplay Mechanics
- Match pairs: Only when a clear path (max 2 bends) exists between them
- Use items: Click the icons below the board to trigger effects (e.g. Revive, Chaos, Cure)
- Passwords: After completing a level, you’ll receive a code you can re-enter later to skip ahead
- Progressive difficulty: Later stages include more tile types and complex layouts
Visual Style
Heavily inspired by WoW: Wrath of the Lich King, the interface features icy tones, frosty runes, and ability icons ripped straight from WoW’s UI—perfect for longtime fans of Azeroth.
Platform Compatibility
As a Flash game, WoW Connect 2 runs via emulation on modern platforms:
- Desktop: Fully supported via mouse control.
- Mobile: Fully supported via touch control.
