Margaret, I don't know what you're talking about. They only change the letters after you find the word. And why do you "search and search" for a word? Going at the letters in a logical, row by row approach, I find the words immediately.

This is from miniclips.com, but it's called LETTER LASSO. Not as easy as it's seems. Same music, too. I play it every day....and say a few "wordy durds" in the process! !@#$(*
