About Opening Night

Opening night on Broadway carries a magic all its own, the lobby buzzing with first-nighters, programs clutched in gloved hands, the orchestra tuning just behind the curtain. Stars receive telegrams and armfuls of flowers backstage, while critics slip into their aisle seats with notebooks ready. When the overture swells and the lights finally dim, every seat in the house seems to hold its breath together.

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.
