Questions
How do I find a word on screen?
Tap the first letter, then the last letter, or drag from one to the other. Found words are coloured in and crossed off the list.
Why did some of my words not fit?
Very long words, or many words in a small grid, may not fit. The tool lists them; choose a bigger grid or fewer words.
How do I print it?
