Smart Hints

Stuck? Tap the hint button to reveal just the first letter, both ends, or the entire word. Choose your hint power in Settings so kids get just the right amount of help.

Milestones & Stats

Track your total puzzles completed, hints used, bonus words found, and more. Celebrate milestones as you hit new records.

Grids That Grow With You

Start on a 5×5 board and unlock all the way to 20×20 as you complete puzzles. The challenge always meets you where you are, change size at any time.

Bonus Words

Spot a real word hiding in the grid that isn't on your list? Swipe it for bonus points. There's always more to find than you think.
