About Great Quarterbacks

Before the forward pass became the whole show, the quarterback was a field general who called plays and handed off. Then came the men in this puzzle, throwing into the wind at Lambeau Field and the Orange Bowl, and by the time Joe Namath guaranteed a Super Bowl win in 1969, Sunday afternoons around the radio and the television were never quite the same. Everyone had a name they argued over at the dinner table.

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.
