I started playing this about a week ago and have been having a great time.

It's kind of like a word search that can go in any direction after every letter, but can't overlap, and you don't know the words. There's also a special word (sometimes 2 words together) called "spangram" each day that will go from one side of the board to the other and spell out the theme of the other words.

We've been playing it at work, sometimes it's really easy and other times really hard. We try to do it "perfect": no hints and getting the spangram first. A couple times I even did it without finding any other words at all, but only once. Really depends on if you can figure out the theme in my experience... Sometimes they are very obtuse like Saturday nyt crossword clues
