About Famous Lighthouses

Most of us have a lighthouse somewhere in the house, usually on a calendar or a jigsaw box that never quite got finished. The first one in the United States was Boston Light, lit in 1716 on a small island in the harbor, and keepers at towers like it trimmed wicks and polished the brass and the glass lenses by hand. Now they mostly stand for postcards and summer drives, but the light still turns in plenty of them.

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.
