About Space Travel

Every launch begins the same way: a countdown, a held breath, and then a column of fire lifting something human-made beyond the pull of Earth. The astronauts who ride those rockets train for years to spend mere minutes in that roaring ascent, and then, suddenly, silence and the slow drift of weightlessness. From early capsules splashing down in the ocean to satellites tracing their steady paths overhead, space travel has rewired the way we imagine what is possible.

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.
