About The Turkey

Nothing signals the heart of Thanksgiving quite like a turkey emerging from the oven, skin burnished to a deep amber, the kitchen wrapped in a fragrant warmth that draws everyone in from the other room. The whole ritual has its own unhurried rhythm: the basting, the trussing, the moment the carving knife finally meets the breast. A well-rested bird on a wide platter, surrounded by its own golden juices, is as close to a centerpiece as food gets.

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.
