About Distant Galaxies

Beyond the familiar stars of our own night sky lies a universe of staggering depth, hundreds of billions of galaxies, each a vast island of light held together by gravity and dark matter. Some spiral like slow, luminous pinwheels; others are smooth elliptical clouds of ancient stars drifting through the dark. Between them stretch enormous filaments of gas and dust, and vast empty voids where almost nothing exists at all.

How to play

    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.
