Trace the hidden word through the grid.
The letters of a word lie along a winding path. Slide your finger from letter to letter to spell it: up, down, left or right, never the same square twice. Part anagram, part maze, and a fresh word every day.

How to play
Easy to learn in a minute, and surprisingly hard to put down.
Find the first letter
Every word starts somewhere. Look at the letters and the shape of the path they make.
Trace the path
Swipe from square to square, up, down, left or right. Slide back a step to undo.
Spell the word
Use every lettered square in the right order and the word is yours, with coins to match.
Three levels of challenge
The same kind of puzzle each time, with a little less help at every level.
See the shape
Only the word's own letters are on the grid. You can see the path; work out the order.
Spot the decoys
Four extra letters join the grid, but you start on the gold square.
Every square counts
The whole grid is lettered. Find the one route that spells the word.
Why you'll keep coming back
Quick rounds for a coffee break or the commute, with plenty to work towards.
Daily Special
A new nine-letter word on a bigger grid every day, the same for every player. Keep your streak going, or catch up on the last seven days.
Bounty words
Spot a different real word along the way and it becomes a bounty, with extra coins for your trouble.
Hints you earn
Stuck? Spend coins to place the next letter on the grid. Each one costs more, so every hint is a choice.
Ten achievements
From your first solve to a clean sheet without hints, and a level 3 word in under thirty seconds.
British English
Thousands of words with British spellings throughout. COLOUR, not COLOR.
