About The Electric Guitar

The electric guitar changed music forever, a solid body, a few magnetic pickups, and suddenly a single player could fill an arena with sound. Early pioneers wired raw ambition into every bent string and ringing chord, turning feedback and distortion from accidents into art. From the smoky clubs of the 1950s to stadium stages blazing with light, that six-string snarl became the heartbeat of rock and roll.

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.
