Diagonals change everything
At level 2, words still read forward — but they can now slide down the diagonals. That single change forces your eyes out of their reading habits: you'll scan the grid in four directions instead of two, and the last few words often hide in plain sight.
The sweet spot
Level 2 is our most balanced setting: harder than a beginner grid, but never unfair — no backwards words. It's the difficulty we recommend once easy grids start feeling automatic, and a great match for family play where ages and skills are mixed.
