About The Space Race

For a decade the world looked up. Sputnik beeped overhead, Gagarin circled the Earth, and on a July night in 1969 Armstrong and Aldrin stepped onto the Moon while half the planet held its breath. This puzzle gathers the rockets, capsules and pioneers of the Space Race, the years we reached past the sky.

  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.
