Objetivo del juego

The goal of the game is to find words by sliding your finger across the board of CatchAWord. You start by touching a cell and then you slide the finger to ad-jacent cells (in all directions). When you lift up your finger from the board, the word is completed and checked against the dictionary for it’s validity (note: due to memory limitations of mobile phones, a reduced set of dictionaries might be used. The dictionaries for each language are based in open dictionaries)

* Words must have 3 letters or more to be valid.
