About American Cities

Every American city tells its story through the shapes it casts, a bridge arcing over a wide river, a grid of blocks stretching back from the waterfront, a skyline catching the last light of the day. Some cities grew up around a natural harbor, others along a rail station or a civic plaza that became the beating heart of the town. Whether you picture a gleaming midtown tower, a neighborhood ferry dock, or a quiet avenue lined with trees, the bones of every city are landmarks worth knowing by heart.

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.
