smoky jazz club word search

The Smoky Club: a free online word search

Smoky jazz club word search, yours without paying a cent. The encore's in there, and so is the midnight highball.

About The Smoky Club

Long after midnight, a good jazz club settles into its own unhurried rhythm. The candle on every table burns low, a highball sweats quietly on a cardboard coaster, and the quartet on the bandstand trades phrases like old friends finishing each other's sentences. A trumpet mute softens the room to velvet; the upright bass walks steady underneath it all, and when the crowd calls for one more, the encore begins like the night never had to end.

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.
