How to play

Find the lines. Theme words are hidden in the map. Trace one from stop to stop in any direction, diagonals included. Drag across the letters, or tap them one at a time and tap the last letter again.
Every letter is used once. Each stop belongs to exactly one line, and lines never cross.
One word is the Crosstown. It names the theme and runs from one edge of the map to the opposite edge.
Detours earn fare. Any other word of four letters or more is a detour. Four letters earn 1 fare, five earn 2, six earn 3, seven or more earn 4. Every 4 fare becomes a token.
A token is a hint. It rings the stops of a line you haven’t found. A second token on the same line draws its route.
Three stars. One for finishing, one for spending no tokens, one for finding the Crosstown before any other line.
