About Victory Celebrations

When the news broke in May and then August 1945, people simply poured into the streets. Strangers embraced, bonfires were lit on every green, and voices that had been hushed by years of worry suddenly rang out in song. The dancing went on until dawn, a release of feeling so enormous it seemed the whole world was exhaling at once.

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.
