About A Sunny Australian Christmas

While much of the world wraps up in wool and watches snow fall, Australians celebrate Christmas in the full blaze of summer, bare feet on hot sand, a cold drink in hand, and the smell of a backyard barbecue drifting across the neighborhood. Carols drift from outdoor stages as families spread blankets in the park, and the cricket bat comes out before the wrapping paper has barely settled. It is Christmas with sunscreen on your nose and a prawn on the grill, and it is every bit as festive and full of warmth, just a very different kind of warmth.

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 color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets 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.
