Trace a word through the grid

Connect touching letters horizontally, vertically or diagonally. You may turn between letters. A tile cannot appear twice in the same word. Type a word or tap its letters, then submit. QU is one tile but counts as two letters.

Three missions on one board

Find two words of three letters, one word of five or more letters, and a word that crosses the marked tile. The generator checks that all three missions can be completed. Daily and new-board modes both have no timer.

What earns points?

Words of three or four letters score 1. Five letters score 2, six score 3, seven score 5, and eight or more score 11. A word counts once per board. Missions track your progress without adding hidden bonus points.

Review the paths

Finish the board to see missed words. Select a word in the review to light up one valid path. Look for a prefix such as RE or an ending such as ING, then check the neighbouring tiles rather than reusing a letter you already selected.
