A word search laid out like a magazine, with black ink, warm paper, red display numerals and a yellow highlighter for every find. Here is the issue, sorted by parts of speech. Noun The puzzle itself: letter boards from 8×8 up to 12×12, with entries hidden in eight directions and readable forwards or backwards. Themed Issues spreads 32 boards across eight topics, Ocean, Orchard, Weather, Kitchen, Space, Garden, Music and Mountains, four per issue, and together they cover all 14 terms of each theme. Verb What you do: swipe from letter to letter in a straight line, and the stroke snaps to the nearest of the eight directions. Clear a board to open the next. Finish under the par time with no hints for three stars, with 96 to collect. A hint circles the first letter of a term still hiding. Timed Sprint starts you on ninety seconds, adds time for each find and eight more for every cleared board, while the boards grow and the extra time shrinks. Your record and the last twenty runs are filed in an archive. Adjective How it feels: calm, tidy and a little bookish. Each solved entry is struck through with a highlighter stroke, and its definition lands in a Glossary of 112 entries, filtered by theme. The Daily Grid gives everyone the same 10×10 puzzle each day, with a week strip and a day streak. Adverb How it ends: curiously. Word Lore asks ten etymology questions a round from 27 real stories, such as salary and salt or robot and the 1920 play that gave it a name, and tells the history after each answer. Haptics can be switched off, and the magazine reads offline, with no ads, no sound and no account.
