About The Commercial Break

Saturday morning TV in its golden era ran on the rhythm of the commercial break as much as the cartoons themselves. A talking tiger sold frosted flakes, a rabbit chased kids for their cereal, and a jingle could lodge itself in your head for decades. Some of the most memorable moments happened not during the show, but in those two breathless minutes of puppets, prizes, and the promise that this toy was the one you absolutely needed.

How to play

    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.
