Early Sun: Word Search

Every word search game prints the list under the grid. This one does not.

You get the theme of the board and the length of each hidden word. Finding them is on you.

HOW A SWIPE ENDS
• You trace a hidden word — found, nothing spent.
• You trace a real word that was not hidden — bonus word. It counts toward your next tool, and no guess is lost.
• You trace something that is not a word — one guess gone.

That middle line is what keeps the board playable. Reading the grid is work, and work gets paid.

TWO WAYS OUT WHEN YOU ARE STUCK
• SPOT marks the first letter of one word you have not found. It does not say which word, and it does not say which direction.
• WORD reveals one more letter in the list below. It does not say where that word sits on the grid.

Each one solves half the problem. The other half is still yours, and it is the half you can do.

A WORD PUZZLE THAT ASKS FOR THINKING, NOT SPEED
There is no timer on any board. No lives to run out, no streak to protect, no daily window you can miss. Put the phone down in the middle of a word and pick it up next week on the same grid. If you like word games, brain teasers and puzzle games you can play at your own pace, this one was built for that.

WORDS YOU ALREADY KNOW
Every hidden word is an ordinary English word. No obscure dictionary entries, no abbreviations. Bonus words come from a wider list, so the ones you spot by accident still count for something.

WHAT ELSE
• Themed boards, from kitchens to weather to things that fly.
• Boards grow as you go, and so does the count of what is hidden in them.
• Runs offline. No connection needed to play a board.
• Nothing expires while you are away.

Early Sun is quiet on purpose. A room, some light through the curtain, and a grid that does not tell you what it is hiding.
