About Trailblazers

Every era has its firsts, the woman who walked into a room where no woman had walked before and simply got to work. Some earned a pilot's license when the sky itself seemed off-limits. Others pressed into courtrooms, laboratories, and chambers of Congress armed with nothing but nerve and ability. Their names became landmarks: proof, written in a life, that the door could open.

    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.
