The rules in short
Every grid hides a themed list of words in straight lines: across, down and diagonally, forwards or backwards. Trace a word with a finger or the mouse to claim it. Solo dives come in four sizes (Rockpool, Lagoon, Reef, Abyss) across ten themes, with a daily hunt per language. In a co-op crew of 2 to 4, everyone hunts the same live grid and each claimed word appears for all. In a rated Battle, 2 to 4 rivals race the same grid and a word belongs to the first player to trace it; the highest total wins and ELO moves accordingly. The word language (English or French) is chosen separately from the interface language, so a French crew can hunt English words and vice versa.
