About this game
Find eight theme words hidden in the letter grid
What this game is
Eight theme words hide in a grid packed with letters. Drag from a word's first letter to its last and a coloured band marks it as found.
There are eight themes, from fruit and animals to school, sports and food, and switching the page language builds the grid from that language's words. Every new grid shuffles the layout.
How to play
- Four directions
- Words only run right, down, or diagonally down or up to the right. Nothing is written backwards, so hunt for first letters.
- Tap both ends
- If dragging is fiddly, tap the first letter and then the last.
- Watch for decoys
- Blank squares are filled with letters taken from real words, so look-alike fragments turn up everywhere.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the score worked out?
- 600 minus three times the seconds taken, with a floor of 50.
- Is progress kept per theme?
- Themes you have completed show a ✓ on this device.
- The grid looks tiny
- The grid is 7 to 10 squares wide depending on the longest word. Holding the phone upright gives the biggest squares.
