Each language keeps its own letters. Spanish keeps Ñ in the grid; French and Spanish accents are dropped in the grid by default (É becomes E) and kept in the word list; German keeps Ä, Ö and Ü and writes ß as SS in capitals.

Up to 30 words of 2 to 20 letters. As a rule of thumb, a 10 by 10 grid takes 8 to 10 short words, 15 by 15 about 20 and 20 by 20 about 30. A word that does not fit is named under your list, with a button for a bigger grid.

The letters left over once every word is found, read from left to right and top to bottom, spell a word or a short sentence you choose. Boxes under the puzzle wait for it, and the answer key fills them in. In French it is called the mot mystère.
