About A Time for Everything

Few passages in all of Scripture have quieted anxious hearts quite like Ecclesiastes 3, "To everything there is a season." Its rhythm is ancient and steady, moving through birth and death, weeping and laughter, mourning and dancing without flinching from any of them. The Preacher's point is not that life is random, but that every moment, even the hard ones, has its place in a larger pattern too wide for any one person to see all at once.

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.
