How to play

Goal

Find every listed word hidden in the letter grid.

How do I select a word?
Drag between its endpoints, or select each endpoint. Keyboard users can move with arrows, then press Enter on the first and last letter. Words run horizontally, vertically or diagonally in either direction. They cannot bend. Listed words may share letters, and marked letters can still be selected. Normal puzzles use a 12 by 12 grid; the small tutorial grids are separate practice content.
How do words score?
Each newly found listed word is worth 100 points. Letter values and word length do not change that total. Wrong lines and repeated finds score nothing. Finding all listed words completes the puzzle. There is no countdown or wrong-selection loss.
What puzzles and difficulty options are available?
Normal play has 120 puzzles across ten themes, each with 8–12 words. Previous and Next Puzzle change the grid. Relaxed and Standard start at the first puzzle with five or three hints; Challenge starts at puzzle 21 without hints. Normal hints progressively reveal a region, direction and endpoints. Matching rules stay the same.
Can I undo a found word?
Undo restores the last found word and subtracts its 100 points. It is unavailable after completing the board. Normal play keeps completed-puzzle records and best scores; practice changes neither.
What changes with difficulty?
Relaxed starts on puzzle 1 with five hints, Standard with three, and Challenge on puzzle 21 without hints. The selection and scoring rules stay the same.
