A trail of expedition boards, one theme each. Every letter on the board is used exactly once. Chain adjacent letters into theme words, and find the golden spangram that spans the board and anchors its theme. The trail climbs through five checkpoints, and the hardest board of each caps it as the boss.

How to play

Theme Hunt

Every letter on the board belongs to a theme word. Chain adjacent letters to find them all; one golden anchor spans the whole board and is central to the theme.

  1. Step 1

    Read the theme clue

    The clue describes the hidden words. Every expedition hunts a different corner of AI and data science.

  2. Step 2

    Chain the letters

    Drag across adjacent letters, any direction with diagonals included, or tap letter by letter. Release, or tap the last letter again, to submit.

  3. Step 3

    Find the spangram

    One golden theme anchor touches opposite edges and is marked with a crown. A hint reveals only a starting cell, then the two endpoints, never the full path. Start at 100 points; hints cost 12 and misses cost 2.
