The games

Pick a room. Every game opens with a ready puzzle on its page, and its numbered rooms climb from easy to hard over three floors.

Word Search

Twenty-one themes, one per grid — animals, the kitchen, the weather and more. Slide across the listed words to ring them in a block of letters.

45 rooms: Floor 1 · Easy · Floor 2 · Medium · Floor 3 · Hard

Word Wheel

Five to seven letters sit on a wheel. Swipe across them to spell words; the words that belong in the small crossword fill their places, the others count as bonus finds.

45 rooms: Floor 1 · Easy · Floor 2 · Medium · Floor 3 · Hard

Mystery Word

Guess a five-letter word; every letter comes back marked as right, misplaced or absent. Six tries to work out the answer.

45 rooms: Floor 1 · Easy · Floor 2 · Medium · Floor 3 · Hard

Word Ladder

Start with one word and reach another by changing a single letter per step. Each rung has to be a real word, and par is the shortest climb possible.

45 rooms: Floor 1 · Easy · Floor 2 · Medium · Floor 3 · Hard

Word Scramble

A short run of scrambled words, each a little longer than the last. Every set of letters makes exactly one word, so there is no arguing with the answer.

Criss-Cross

You get the words and an empty criss-cross grid. Fit each word where its length and the crossing letters agree; there is exactly one way to place them all.
