About Bumblebees

Bumblebees are among the most recognizable visitors in any garden, round, velvety, and unhurried as they work their way through foxglove bells and clover heads. Unlike honeybees, they nest in small colonies underground, a cozy burrow tended by a single queen. That signature buzz isn't just sound, it's a technique called sonication, where the bee vibrates its flight muscles to shake loose stubborn pollen from deep within a flower.

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.
