Extra width matters here because several sports in this theme are long compounds. Basketball, volleyball and gymnastics need room to stretch, and at this size they lie flat across the grid without crowding out the shorter disciplines around them. The result is a fuller list than a small square can hold, drawn from the same familiar vocabulary.

Nothing changes about the level. Words still travel rightwards or downwards, never backwards, never on a slant, so the added size brings volume rather than difficulty. That combination suits a player who enjoys the searching more than the puzzling, and it works well as a handout when you want everyone in a room to reach the end.

Tick each word off as you find it and glance at the initials left over; the unused first letters tell you exactly what to look for on the next pass.
