1. Use today’s theme to search for words related to this topic. Have you seen one? Drag or click the letters in order. Click on the last letter twice to submit your guess. If you found a theme word, it will light up blue and stay that way.

2. Other words you find are considered clue words that give you clues to the theme words. Find three clue words (each must be at least four letters) and the game will reward you by showing you a theme word. But if you can’t decipher it, find three more clue words; the game will highlight the letters of the theme word in order.

4. When you’re done, you’ll have used every letter on the board in a theme word or spangram. Theme words fill the entire board and do not overlap.
