About Patriotic Songs

Few sounds carry a July afternoon quite like a brass band stepping down Main Street, the snap of a snare drum leading the way. The great patriotic songs, from "The Star-Spangled Banner" to "Stars and Stripes Forever", were written to be felt as much as heard, swelling in the chest like a deep breath of warm summer air. Whether belted by a full chorus on a courthouse lawn or hummed quietly as the fireworks climb and burst, these melodies have a way of pulling everyone to their feet.

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.
