About Yosemite Valley

Carved by ancient glaciers over millions of years, Yosemite Valley stretches about seven miles through the heart of the Sierra Nevada, its sheer granite walls rising nearly a mile above the meadow floor. The Merced River winds quietly through the valley, reflecting the silhouette of Half Dome in its still water on calm mornings. John Muir called it "the grandest of all the special temples of Nature," and those who stand at Valley View for the first time tend to agree without a word.

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.
