About Fireworks

Nothing quite matches the first rocket climbing into a black summer sky, trailing a thin silver thread before it blooms into a chrysanthemum of color. Shells burst in overlapping rings, crackles chase each other to the horizon, and the low thud rolls through your chest long after the light is gone. The finale arrives like a conversation where everyone talks at once, a wall of color and sound that leaves the crowd breathless, the air sweet with smoke, and ears ringing in the best possible way.

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.
