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

The extra rows make space for the fuller side of the vocabulary. Long compounds like jellyfish and lighthouse fit comfortably, and they sit alongside the shorter shore words, so the list spans creatures, water and the human side of the coast rather than one narrow corner of it.

It is the natural next step once the small squares stop taking any effort. Nothing in the rules changes; only the field of letters grows, which means more places to look and a longer, steadier sitting. For a group it holds attention well past the opening scan, yet it never tips over into feeling like homework.

Sweep for the rarer letters first. J, Q and K barely appear in this list, so finding one of them almost always hands you a whole word.
