About The Snowman

Building a snowman is one of winter's most satisfying rituals, packing a small ball until it's big enough to roll, then heaving it up onto another, and stepping back to admire something that looks remarkably like a person. The finishing touches are where personality comes in: a jaunty top hat, a striped muffler, a corn-cob pipe, and two lumps of coal for eyes that seem, somehow, to be watching you. Come morning, after a cold clear night, a good snowman can look as sharp as the moment you left him standing in the yard.

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.
