The sound of rock
Rock and roll changed music forever, and this puzzle gathers its essentials. You'll be finding the instruments that define the sound — the ELECTRIC GUITAR, the BASS, the DRUMS — plus the killer RIFF, the blistering SOLO and the power CHORDS that drive every song.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the setlist, no two rock & roll word searches are the same. One round a backwards DISTORTION hides in a corner; the next a diagonal ANTHEM blasts across the middle.
Life on the road
Rock is as much about the show as the song. Picture the band on STAGE, the AMPLIFIER cranked to FEEDBACK, the ROADIE setting up the SETLIST, and the CROWD screaming for one more ENCORE. There's the LEATHER and the rebel attitude, the VINYL records, the world TOUR, and the urge to HEADBANG till your neck aches.
From the first chord to the last VOCALS, this puzzle is a love letter to loud guitars and louder crowds.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
