How do I reveal the message?
Cross out every listed word. Read the remaining letters from left to right, top to bottom. Skip shaded squares and add spaces to find the message.
Why are some squares shaded?
They are not part of a word or the message. Shading keeps the leftover letters exactly equal to your message, without extra filler.
What changes with difficulty?
Easy uses rightward and downward words. Medium adds diagonals. Hard also allows backwards words.
