About Faith & Inspiration

Good Friday falls at the heart of Holy Week, the day Christians mark the crucifixion of Jesus on a hill outside Jerusalem called Golgotha. Churches dim their lights, strip their altars, and hold a stillness that words can barely touch — a grief kept tender precisely because it knows what Sunday holds. In that long, quiet afternoon, candles flicker against the dark, and the faithful gather not in celebration but in reverent, watchful sorrow.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word from the list.Press the first letter and drag to the last — across, down or diagonally, forwards or back. Or tap the first letter, then the last.
  2. 2
    It stays marked.Found words get a soft teal line through them, on the grid and in the list.
  3. 3
    Make it comfortable.Use the A / A+ / A++ size control any time, or pinch the grid for a closer look.
