Hint (0/3)

• How to play

  Find all the hidden words in the grid.
  Each puzzle includes one “spangram” and several shorter words connected by the theme.

  Swipe (mobile) or click & drag (desktop) across letters to form a word.
  You can move in any direction, as long as each letter touches the previous one.

  Lift your finger (mobile) or un-click (desktop) to submit.
  If the word is correct, it locks into place.

  Color guide:
  🔵 Blue — a correct word
  🟡 Gold — the spangram (the longest word)

  Stuck? Use a hint.
  Wrong guesses earn hint energy. When you have enough, tap Hint to reveal part of a remaining word.
