About Litter of Puppies

A fresh litter of puppies is one of nature's most irresistible sights, a warm, wriggling pile of snouts and floppy ears, each pup finding its way on unsteady legs. The mother, called the dame, keeps watch while her whelps squirm and nuzzle close for warmth and milk. Within days the yipping starts, tiny voices announcing that these small, sleepy bundles are very much alive and already full of personality.

    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.
