Your mission

The search

Word came down from the hut at dusk: a party of climbers is overdue. Their names are written somewhere on the mountain.

Each one is hidden in the grid, in a straight line. Across or down on the Meadow; diagonals too on the Ridge; any way at all in the Couloir, even backwards.

Drag across a word to mark it, or tap its first letter and then its last. Every word you find comes off the list.

Fire a flare and a missing word’s first letter lights up, at a cost. Find them all, fast, and bring everyone home.

The clock starts at GO. Find them all.

  • Drag across a word
  • Tap first, then last letter
  • Arrows · Enter the same by keyboard

Whiteout!

The weather won this time.

Every climb goes better roped in. Let’s talk →
