Example

Worked example (fictional grid)

• Row 1: C A T S: The word CATS can be made along the top row: C, A, T and S touch each other in a line
• Using a diagonal: If an A is diagonally next to a T, you can build the word by moving diagonally
• Scoring: CATS is a four-letter word, so 1 point; a seven-letter word would score 5 points

Limitations

• Each grid is generated at random and the game checks it holds at least 30 words (4 × 4) or 60 words (5 × 5).
• The word list contains about 64,000 English words of four or more letters, with offensive words removed. A rare real word may be rejected, and the list includes some uncommon words and plural and verb forms.
• Spelling follows the word list, which mixes British and American forms.
• Q is not used in the grid, to keep words findable.
• This is an independent game and is not affiliated with any publisher or other game of a similar style.
