How do you play Word Trail?

Every letter you can see sits on a locked tile. Reveal words to turn them into ground, then walk the path you carved down to the treasure. Drag across a run of letters to reveal a word. Words read across to the right and straight down — never backwards, never diagonally. Some words in the grid are decoys from the wrong theme. Reveal one and it costs you health. Tiles a decoy shares with a real word are always safe. Find the key before the door. The door is the only way down. Drag upward, or drag on ground you have already cleared, to scroll the board.
