About The Bell

In boxing, the bell is everything, the starter's pistol, the clock, and the mercy call all forged into a single iron note. Between rounds, the corner becomes a sanctuary: a stool dragged out, a bucket offered, a trainer's voice cutting through the noise. That brief interval, thirty seconds of rest in a brutal sport, has decided more fights than any punch ever thrown.

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.
