About The Harlem Globetrotters

The Globetrotters started out of Chicago in the 1920s, never Harlem, and the name was a bit of marketing that stuck. They won real games for years, then turned the sport into a show, with a ball spinning on a fingertip and a referee who never quite gets the last word. Their theme song, Sweet Georgia Brown, is still whistled by people who couldn't tell you the score of any game they ever saw.

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 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.
