Solved

Keyboard: arrows to move, Enter to start a word, arrows to extend, Enter again to confirm, Esc to cancel.

The list sticks to animals most people can picture straight away: heavyweights from warm regions such as Elephant and Giraffe, woodland and garden regulars like Fox and Badger, plus a short run of birds and reptiles. Farm animals, fish and insects stay out, so every answer belongs to the same wild family and the list holds together while you scan.

This size suits a first sitting: enough room for long names to stretch out, small enough to take in at a glance. Because the easy setting only writes rightwards and downwards, nothing is spelled backwards, which makes it a sensible choice for a beginner, a mixed group, or anyone who wants a puzzle that rewards attention rather than trickery.

Do one pass along the rows for words reading rightwards, then a second pass down the columns; keeping both directions separate stops you covering the same ground twice.
