About Mountains & Ranges

From the worn, rounded shoulders of the Appalachians, among the oldest mountain systems on Earth, to the jagged, glacier-carved peaks of the Rockies and Cascades, American high country spans a staggering range of age, scale, and character. A hiker crossing the Continental Divide feels the whole continent tipping away in two directions at once, every raindrop choosing its ocean. Up above the timberline, where the trees give way to tundra and bare rock, the air is thin and the silence is enormous.

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.
