Hidden

Twelve words and a category. Some of the words are hiding a member of that category, and some are only decoys. Find the hidden ones, and decide for yourself when you have found them all.

  1. Read today’s category, for example colours.
  2. Tap every word you think is hiding one: FREDERICK hides RED.
  3. Press Submit. A wrong guess costs nothing, you simply look again.

Then & Now

Six things from your younger days and six from today. Match each one with the thing that does its job now, then read the little story behind it. A game to share with the grandkids.

  1. Tap something you grew up with, like a telegram.
  2. Tap the modern thing that does its job: a text message.
  3. Every wrong guess costs a point. Better played together on a video call.

Memory Lane

Every day, a five-letter word you grew up with: the slang and sayings of the 50s, 60s and 70s. You know these words better than anyone. Guess it in six tries, then teach it to the grandkids.

  1. Type any five-letter word and press Enter.
  2. Navy is the right letter in the right place, orange is in the word somewhere else, grey is not in the word.
  3. Stuck? Ask for a clue. It costs a point, never the game.
