About Sparklers

Long after the parade ends and the sun finally drops, the real magic moves into the backyard. A lit sparkler traces bright arcs in the dark, that satisfying sizzle, the shower of white-hot embers, and the faint curl of smoke rising into the warm July air. From the sharp crack and bang of firecrackers on the sidewalk to the slow, golden gleam of a fuse burning down, the after-dark hours of the Fourth have a texture all their own.

    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.
