Pathagram: Word Path Puzzle

Pathagram is a word puzzle game with a twist: the letters of a hidden word lie along a winding path through the grid. Trace the path with your finger to spell the word.

Up, down, left or right. Never diagonally, and never the same square twice. Easy to learn, and surprisingly hard to put down.

Part anagram, part maze, part word search, this brain teaser makes you think about where the letters are as well as what they spell.

★ HOW TO PLAY
• Swipe from letter to letter to trace the word
• Slide back onto the last letter to undo a step
• Spell the hidden word to solve the puzzle and earn coins

★ THREE LEVELS OF CHALLENGE
• Level 1: only the word's own letters are on the grid. You can see the shape of the path; work out the order of the anagram.
• Level 2: four decoy letters join the grid, but you start on the gold square.
• Level 3: every square holds a letter. Find the one route that spells the word.

★ DAILY WORD PUZZLE
The Daily Special is a nine-letter word on a bigger 5×5 grid, new every day and the same for every player. Solve it each day to build a streak. Missed a day? Catch up on any of the last seven.

★ BOUNTY WORDS
Spot a different real word along the way and it becomes a bounty: it goes in your log and pays extra coins. The puzzle carries on until you find the word it was hiding.

★ HINTS YOU EARN
Stuck on a word? Spend coins to reveal the next letter, placed straight onto the grid. Each letter costs more than the last, so a hint is a real decision rather than a shortcut.

★ TEN ACHIEVEMENTS
From your first solve to a streak of days in a row, a clean sheet without hints, and a level 3 word in under thirty seconds.
