About The Ocean Deep

More than two-thirds of Earth's surface lies beneath the sea, and most of it remains unexplored, a world of shifting currents, cathedral-tall kelp forests, and creatures that glow in absolute darkness. Coral reefs, though they cover less than one percent of the ocean floor, shelter roughly a quarter of all known marine species, a riot of color visible even from space. At the other extreme, the deep ocean trenches plunge miles below the surface, cold and pressurized, where giant squid drift and bioluminescent animals make their own faint light.

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.
