About Soul & Funk

Long before the mirror ball took the credit, it was the funk bands, tight rhythm sections, screaming brass, and a preacher's urgency at the microphone, that made the floor move. Labels like Stax and Motown were finishing schools for musicians who treated every two-minute single like a masterclass in feel. The clavinet, the wah-wah pedal, and a bass guitar set just so were the real architects of the decade's heat.

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.
