About The Masked Raccoon

Long after the porch light flicks off, the backyard shifts. A raccoon moves through the shadows, deliberate, nimble-fingered, already working the lid off the trash can before the neighborhood has gone fully quiet. Opossums shuffle along the fence line, unhurried and ancient-looking, while a skunk drifts across the lawn in its own unhurried cloud of authority. These are the hours the yard belongs to someone else entirely.

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.
