About The Danube

The Danube rises in Germany's Black Forest and winds almost 1,800 miles east before emptying into the Black Sea, passing through more countries than any other river on Earth. Along its banks, medieval castles crown limestone bluffs, old towns lean toward the water on cobbled quays, and the light on the current shifts from silver in the morning to deep gold by evening. For centuries barges have carried grain, wine, and stone along this corridor, tying together the cultures and kitchens of a whole 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.
