Today’s Hidden Layer Labs Layers solution for October 20, 2026, puzzle #342, is hidden below with the four mini-game unlock words and all four final category groups.
The Layers daily puzzle starts with four unlock mini-games—a five-letter word grid, crossword, anagram, and word search—before moving to a 4×4 connection board of 16 words arranged into four themed groups.
Four mini-games. One final board.
Unlock the four hidden words first, then test the final groups just like the real game. Reveal only the layer you need or open the complete solution.

Layers works best when you treat the mini-games as clues for the final board, not as separate puzzles. Unlock those words first, then sort the whole set.
The four mini-games each unlock a word that belongs on the final board, so start there before forcing category guesses.
A word can look like it belongs in more than one group. Use the category titles only after the mini-game answers narrow the board.
The devious Void group often uses a fill-in-the-blank or wordplay pattern, so it is easier once the Amber, Moss, and Surf groups are removed.
The five-letter word grid, anagram, crossword, and word-search answers are not separate extras; they become part of the final 16-word solve.
