About Famous Battles

Across the centuries, battles have turned the fate of empires in a single afternoon, a cavalry charge at the right moment, a flanking move unseen until it was too late, a siege that starved a city into silence. Soldiers of every age carried banners into the smoke and noise, advancing on orders toward outcomes none could predict. These clashes echo still: in the names of the fields where they were fought, in the maps that were redrawn, and in the stories that have never stopped being told.

    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.
