About Early Rockers

In the mid-1950s, a handful of restless young musicians fused blues, country, and gospel into something that rattled the furniture and thrilled the teenagers. Sun Studio in Memphis hummed with slap-back echo; pianos were pounded; guitars were slung low. From Elvis's hip-swinging pompadour to Chuck Berry's duck walk, these pioneers didn't just play music — they invented an attitude that echoed for generations.

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.
