How to Play Word Cross

Playing Word Cross is intuitive and requires only a simple swipe gesture. Here is the basic flow of a single puzzle:

1. Observe the Grid: Look at the crossword-style grid at the center of the screen. Some squares are already filled, while others are blank.
2. Examine the Wheel: Look at the letter wheel surrounding the grid. The letters on the wheel are scrambled and represent the anagram you need to solve.
3. Swipe to Form Words: Swipe your finger or mouse across the letters on the wheel in the correct order to spell a word.
4. Place the Word: Once you spell a valid word, it will automatically populate into the empty spaces of the grid, intersecting with other words.
5. Clear the Board: Continue swiping and forming words until all blank squares in the grid are filled. When the grid is complete, the level is cleared.

The goal is to use every letter provided on the wheel to complete the crossword grid. Because it is an anagram hybrid, you must rearrange the available letters to find the correct words that fit the intersecting lines.
