    How to play

    Pick a difficulty and language from the start screen — grid size and word count scale up from Easy to Expert, and Numbers mode swaps letters for digit sequences. Click or tap a letter and drag in a straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, either direction) to select a word. A correct match locks in with its own color and gets struck off the list; the clock keeps running until every word is found.

    Tips & strategy

    • Scan for uncommon letters first (Q, X, Z, J) — they narrow down where a word could start much faster than scanning row by row.
    • Words can run in any of the 8 directions and can be found back-to-front, so don't rule out a match just because it reads backwards.
    • Stuck? Hint reveals one full word's path for a few seconds (up to 3 per puzzle) without marking it found — you still have to trace it yourself.
