About Stargazing

Step away from the porch light and let your eyes adjust, within minutes the sky fills in, layer by layer, star by star. On a moonless night far from city glow, the Milky Way arches overhead like a softly lit river, and familiar shapes emerge: Orion's belt, the graceful W of Cassiopeia, the steady anchor of the North Star. There is a particular stillness that comes from lying back on cool grass, watching for a streak of light to cross the dark, a silence that feels older than any campfire story.

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.
