This game is a word puzzle that combines word-searching and trivia. Chose among over 100 word-categories, and then you will be presented with a grid containing word from that category. The words are scrambled however, and the fun is to find where they are. When you find the beginning of each word, swipe or tap the tiles containing the letters. If you find the correct word, the tiles will be removed. Find all the words to win the level and advance to the next level. Or play any levels and any word-categories that you like. If you're stuck, the Hint system can give you the first few letters of the words. Unlike traditional word search games, in this game a word can be formed in any direction and aren't necessarily in a straight line. You can swipe across, up, down, and diagonally to form words. However, it's not as easy as is sounds because you have to guess the words, so if you enjoy playing trivia, you'll have even more fun guessing what words can be formed from the seemingly random crossword-board and word-search configuration. Features: - Over 100 word-categories, each containing multiple levels. No In App Purchase required to play all the game content. - Varying board sizes. - Hint option to help in challenging levels. - Simple and intuitive user-interface. - Selection of tile-themes to chose from, to suit your preference.
