Word Trail

About Word Trail

Word Trail is a word hunt with a theme. You get a grid of letters and a short clue about today’s theme. Hidden in the grid are words that fit that theme.

To spell a word, tap letters that touch each other: up, down, across or on a diagonal. Words can twist and turn. One special word, the theme word, names the theme and stretches from one side of the grid to the other.

There is a new puzzle every day, the same for everyone. There is no limit on guesses, so you can keep trying at your own pace.

How to play

1. The letters hide words that share today’s theme.
2. Tap letters that touch, in any direction, to spell a word. Tap the last letter again to undo it.
3. One special word, the theme word, names the theme and stretches from one side of the grid to the other.
4. Stuck? A hint outlines the letters of one word, but lowers your score.

Tips

• Read the theme clue first, then think of words that might fit it. Hidden words have at least 4 letters.
• Look for the theme word early. It runs all the way across the grid, or from top to bottom, so finding it opens up the rest.
• Tapped the wrong letter? Tap the last letter again to undo it, or tap Clear to start the word over.
• Letters in a word you have found cannot be used again, so the grid gets easier as you go.
