Connect letters on the board to make words that fit the theme. Found theme words are highlighted in blue and fill the board without overlapping. The spangram describes the theme, touches two opposite sides, and turns yellow when found.
You can also find non-theme words: every three earn a hint that reveals letters in one theme word. This can help you uncover a difficult entry without looking up the full answer list.
