How do I play?

On a mobile device:
Find words by swiping to connecting letters up, down, left, right, diagonally, and around corners. You can swipe up to the top of the page to quickly cancel a word without impacting your accuracy.

On a physical keyboard:
Type out the word and press <Enter>. The grid will adjust to select the right letters to form your word.
Use <Backspace> to delete a letter.

To cancel a word, press the <Esc> key.
The <Space> bar toggles between squares that have the same letter, if you're a visual thinker.

How the game progresses:

Squares fade out once you've found all the words using them.

When your progress bar reaches the first star, squares show a number in the bottom left corner representing how many words start with that square.

When your progress bar reaches the second star, squares show a number in the bottom right corner representing how many words include that square (anywhere in the word).

When your progress bar reaches the third star, hints are unlocked in the word list, letting you sort your missing words alphabetically and see their starting letter.

If you see a plus sign (+) in a square, that means that 10 or more words start with (or use) that square.

You can adjust the size of these numbers and the color of the game in Settings.
