About The Thanksgiving Parade

On Thanksgiving morning, city streets transform long before the first bite of turkey. Giant helium balloons drift above the rooftops, tethered by dozens of gloved handlers, while brass bands in sharp uniforms send music echoing off the buildings. Floats dressed in autumn colors inch past bundled-up spectators who have claimed their curb spots since before sunrise, thermoses in hand and breath rising in the cold air.

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.
