Help

Choose Word list to see each spelling, or Clues to work out each word first. An 8 × 8 board has six words, 10 × 10 has eight, and 12 × 12 has ten. Tap the first and last letters, then select Check word. Words can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally, forwards or backwards.

You can change the end letter before checking. Tap the selected start again, or choose Clear selection, to begin again. Finding the same word twice does not count as another attempt.

Keyboard: move through the grid with the arrow keys. Press Enter or Space to choose each endpoint. Escape clears your selection. On a narrow screen, swipe sideways inside a larger grid.

Statistics use words found divided by checked selections. Only puzzles with every word found are saved. Results stay separate by mode, board size, word count and language.

An internet connection is needed to load a reviewed word set and its clues. After that, the grid and controls work on your device. Clues are written and reviewed for QuickenBrain, not generated by live AI.

Clue challenge uses scientific and reasoning vocabulary without showing word lengths. Work out each meaning before searching. Found words reveal their definitions.
