About Classic Musicals

The golden age of Broadway ran from the 1940s through the 1960s, when composers like Rodgers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter, and Leonard Bernstein shaped the American musical into something all its own. A great show was a world entire, rich orchestrations filling the house, chorus lines in full swing, and a ballad so well-placed it stopped your heart. Those melodies have never really left; hum eight bars of almost any of them and a whole evening comes flooding back.

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.
