How to play Cricket Strands

Trace every word belonging to the hidden cricket theme, including the special spangram.

  • Join touching letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally by dragging or tapping from end to end.
  • The spangram sums up the theme and reaches from one edge of the grid to another; up to three letter hints are available.

Example: For example, a hypothetical batters theme might hide connected surnames in different directions, with a broader theme word spanning the grid.
