How to Play

Find theme words hidden in the grid and uncover the puzzle’s spangram.

• Drag or tap letters to form words in the grid.
• Every theme word connects to the puzzle’s daily theme.
• Find all theme words to complete the puzzle.

Watch the Process

Spangram

• The spangram is a special word or phrase that explains the puzzle’s theme.
• It always stretches across the board from one side to another.
• Finding the spangram can help you understand the rest of the answers.

Hints

• If you find non-theme words, they help fill your hint meter.
• Once the meter is full, you can use a hint to reveal part of a theme word.
• Hints can guide you when you get stuck, but solving without them is more satisfying.

Reveal Button

• If you cannot solve the puzzle, you can use the reveal button.
• Reveal will show all remaining answers on the board.
