About The Boston Celtics

The old Boston Garden had a parquet floor with dead spots, and the home team knew every one of them. Red Auerbach built a dynasty there around Bill Russell's defense and Bob Cousy's passing, and the banners kept climbing the rafters. Decades later Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish carried the green into another golden stretch.

    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 color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets 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.
