About The Reptile House

The reptile house is one of the quietest places in a zoo, low light, warm glass, and the slow, deliberate world of cold-blooded creatures going about their ancient business. A tortoise moves at its own unhurried pace while an iguana holds perfectly still on a heated branch, soaking in every ray. Keepers here know their animals by habit and temperament, reading the flick of a tongue or the shift of a scale the way others might read a face.

How to play

  1. 1
    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.
