About The Grand Depot

At the heart of every great city once stood a cathedral of travel, a soaring hall of marble and iron where the whole world seemed to pass through. Porters wheeled trunks across polished floors, lanterns swayed on the platforms, and the enormous clock above the main concourse kept everyone honest. The grand depot was more than a place to catch a train; it was the very pulse of a city, humming with arrivals, departures, and the low, beautiful moan of steam.

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.
