About Famous Americans

From the ink-stained halls of Philadelphia to the dusty frontier trails and the crackle of mission control, America's story is written in the lives of the people who dared. Some wore powdered wigs and debated liberty by candlelight; others crossed frozen rivers, led freedom seekers through the night, or slipped the bonds of Earth altogether. Their names became shorthand for courage, vision, and the stubborn belief that one person can change the arc of history.

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.
