A FEW POINTERS BEFORE YOUR FIRST SIP
Make yourself at home.
Take your time. A good puzzle is a pause, not a race.
Crosswords
- Follow the arrows from the clues inside the grid, or select a square to see its Across or Down clue. Tap the same crossing again to switch direction.
- Type your answer using your keyboard or the on-screen letter keys. Correct letters turn red and stay in place.
- Use the arrow keys to move. Backspace clears an incorrect letter.
- Need a nudge? A hint reveals one letter. The hint count stays with your result.
Word Search
- Read the word list or the accompanying story before you begin.
- Drag from the first letter to the last letter of a word in one straight line. You can also tap the first and last letters.
- On a keyboard, use arrow keys to move and Enter to mark the beginning and end.
- Found words are marked in the grid and crossed off the list. Directions depend on the original puzzle.
Find your pace.
