Thread

How to play Thread

Thread combines word clues with a letter grid. Solve a clue, then trace its answer through neighbouring letters. Every word asks you to notice both its meaning and the path hiding in the grid.

1. Choose a clue and work out the word it describes.
2. Connect neighbouring letters to trace your answer through the grid.
3. Finish your word’s path, then find the remaining answers.
