About Swinging London

For one bright decade, London was the centre of the world. Down Carnaby Street and the Kings Road, boutiques spilled miniskirts and bold psychedelic prints onto the pavement, while Mods on their scooters and models like Twiggy set a new kind of cool the whole world wanted. This puzzle gathers the fashions, faces and famous streets of Swinging London — the look of a moment that still turns heads.

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.
