According to the New York Times instructions reproduced by Parade, players find theme words to fill the board; every three non-theme words found earn a hint. Theme answers highlight blue, while the spangram highlights yellow. Players can trace letters by dragging or tapping, and theme answers do not overlap. The spangram describes the theme and touches two opposite sides of the board; it may consist of two words. A hint reveals letters of a theme word.
