The word follows a straight line.

Worked example · not your current board
GRAPE
Tap G and E as the endpoints of GRAPE. Words in the real grid may also run vertically, diagonally or backwards.
  • Start with an unusual letter

    The G in GRAPE or H in PEACH can help you narrow the search. APPLE and BERRY also offer repeated letters to notice. These are observation cues, not a rule about where a word must appear.

  • Select the endpoints

    Choose the first and last letter of the word. Either order works, including for a backwards word. The game checks the straight line between the two choices, so a word cannot turn a corner.

  • Scan every direction

    Rows, columns and both diagonals can hold a name. A rejected selection does not spend money or a timed chance; use what you saw and look elsewhere.

  • Use the keyboard deliberately

    Tab into the board, move focus with arrow keys and use Enter to select an endpoint. Escape clears the starting selection. Finding all six names completes the page; New word page starts a different puzzle.
