About The Orient Express

When the Orient Express made its inaugural run in 1883, it stitched together the grand capitals of Europe with a ribbon of gleaming steel, Paris, Vienna, Budapest, and eventually Istanbul. Passengers dined on fine china as the Alps slid past frost-laced windows, and retired to sleeping cars dressed in dark wood and plush velvet. For decades it was the most storied journey a traveler could make: not a flight from one place to another, but a slow, luminous crossing of a continent.

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.
