About The Petting Zoo

A petting zoo turns an ordinary afternoon into something quietly magical. Soft ears twitch, small hooves shuffle the straw, and a cup of pellets disappears into a dozen eager mouths at once. The alpaca eyes you sideways, the rabbit freezes and then melts, and somewhere behind the fence a donkey adds his voice to the whole unhurried scene.

    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
