About The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall winds more than thirteen thousand miles across northern China, scaling steep mountain ridges and descending into dusty valleys in an unbroken stone spine. Watchtowers rise at every crest, where sentries once lit beacon fires to carry warnings across the frontier in minutes. Built and rebuilt over many centuries, most of the wall visitors walk today dates to the Ming dynasty, whose engineers cut granite blocks and fired millions of clay bricks to raise a fortification that still takes the breath away.

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.
