About this app

Find the hidden words in a grid of letters, built with pure React (no game engine). Pastel magazine-page look. How to play Pick a theme and a difficulty. The words to find are listed under the grid. Select a word by dragging across it, or by tapping its first letter and then its last. Selections snap to straight lines. Found words are highlighted with a colored capsule and crossed off the list. Find every word to complete the puzzle.
