Everything Forge: a free online crafting puzzle built from four elements and an anvil
Everything Forge starts you with just fire, water, earth, and air, then lets the anvil attempt any pair you hand it. Some combinations follow real chemistry, some are pure logic, and plenty are jokes — the full library runs to 1,214 elements spread across fourteen categories, from weather and creatures to space and myth. Twenty-five Legendary elements sit at the end of the deepest combination chains, and a daily quest gives a reason to come back and keep discovering.

How to play Everything Forge
Everything Forge has one core action repeated endlessly: put two elements together and see what happens. Some pairs create something new, others simply don't react — and that non-result is itself useful information about what to try next.
- 1
Pick a starting pair
Drag two elements onto the anvil, or tap one and then the other, to test a combination.
- 2
Read the result
A successful pair unlocks a new element in your library; a pair that does nothing rules out that combination.
- 3
Search what you've found
Type in the search box to pull up any discovered element instead of scrolling through the whole list.
- 4
Chase the deep chains
Follow combinations further to reach the twenty-five rarest Legendary elements at the end of the tree.
Controls
Desktop
- Drag one element onto another to combine them on the anvil
- Click an element, then a second one, as an alternative to dragging
- Type in the search box to jump straight to a discovered element
Phone & tablet
- Tap one element, then a second, to combine them on the anvil
- The search box works the same way on a touchscreen keyboard
Why players like Everything Forge
A library over a thousand items deep
Combining just four starting elements eventually opens a path to 1,214 discoverable items across fourteen categories.
Twenty-five Legendary elements to chase
The rarest finds sit at the end of the longest combination chains, giving long-term players something to keep working toward.
A daily quest resets the target
A new goal appears each day, giving a reason to open the anvil again even after the obvious combinations are used up.
Tap-to-combine on touch
Tapping one element and then another does the same job as dragging on desktop, so the core loop carries over to phones.
Tips for Everything Forge
- Try the obvious pairs first. Fire and water, earth and air — the starting combinations open up the widest range of follow-up elements.
- A pair that does nothing is still information. Ruling out a combination narrows down what to try next just as much as a successful one.
- Use the search box once your library grows. Scrolling to find an old discovery wastes time the search box saves instantly.
- Revisit early elements later. Basic items you unlocked early often combine with things you only discover much further in.
- Check the daily quest before a long session. Working toward that day's specific target can point you toward chains you hadn't tried.

Scoring & winning
Everything Forge doesn't run on points or a timer — progress is measured by how much of the 1,214-element library you've unlocked and how many of the twenty-five Legendary elements you've reached. Each daily quest gives a specific target to aim for that day, but the broader goal is simply working outward from fire, water, earth, and air toward everything the anvil can produce.
