About Scenic Byways

America's scenic byways follow the shape of the land itself, tracing ridge lines, curling around river bends, and dropping into hushed valleys where the road narrows to a single lane and the trees close in overhead. A well-placed overlook pull-off rewards the patient traveler with a panorama that no interstate ever offered: purple ridges stacked to the horizon, a river glinting far below, or a meadow going gold in the afternoon light. These slow roads ask nothing more than an easy foot on the pedal and a willingness to stop.

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.
