Word chains are an extension of addition chains to words. Over a q-letter alphabet, any long enough word admits a word chain of length at most (l+ε)n/logq(n), for a fixed and arbitrary ε>0; moreover, there exist words with no chain shorter than n/logq-1(n). We study word chains for the Thue-Morse M word with a representation by binary trees. A conjecture on the enumeration of shortest word chains computing M is proposed.
