There is no boring list of words to find in this puzzle! Rather it’s up to the player’s mind and ability to spot common words. Players get rewarded for finding words that when the letters are reversed, they can spell a new word (i.e. GARB and BRAG, or RAM and MAR). Players love trying to spot these double words.David L. Hoyt
