The Basics.

Light-blue cells are neutral - cannot be filled.

Black cells accept only FONS(coloured symbols - on the left of the grid)

Grey cells accept only CONS(consonants - to the right of the grid)

HOR = horizontal cells

VERT = vertical cells

Game starts with 0 points and ends with 36 (Mini DragonDrop - 21).

The solutions to each clue, (with the exception of clue 7)is given as an audio file: just click on the audio icon at the end of the clue line, and listen.

(In the Advanced Version, these audio files are ABSENT).

Suggestions and Strategy.

1. Decide which cell you want to start from (cells 1-7)

2. Read the clue, then listen to the audio file.

3. Choose a FON or a CON to fill the empty cell.

FONS(left table)

       Click and release to hear FON audio file.

       Click, Drag to grid release to fill empty cells.

CONS(right table)

       Click and release to hear audio file for any double-letter CONS:

       Click, Drag to grid release to fill empty cells.

4. Choose your strategy: if you prefer, solve the vertical (VERT) clues first; they have only 3 cells, so it can makes it easier to fill in the horizontal(HOR) clues later.

5. Words (in clues)in CAPITOLS are attempts to use synonyms or opposites to help with the meaning.

FONS are limited in number to just 1 MORE than is necessary. So be aware not to waste any.

CONS are available up to 10 for each one.

6. No audio on last clue(7). This is a short phrase of 2 or more words:

You must guess this with ONLY the written clue!

(If the horizontal clues have been resolved, then you are half-way home.)

7. The "countdown" on the right is to give you the possibility to record the time taken for you to complete the krossword.

It isn't a race against the clock; it's not a competition, but a tangible indication that your memory is increasingly improving.

8. Before dragging a FON from its "home " position, look carefully at the positioning of black cells. Try to associate each black cell with the FON heard in the audio file. This will develope your listening ability and also help to avoid picking a wrong cell.

9. Drag the FON or CON to hover just ABOVE the destination cell, then release. Hint: If you drag a FON above a cell that is not it's destination cell, then it will cause a adjacent blue cell to blacken, so dont release in this case.

10. You can always return the FON you are dragging (dont release it)to it's cell of origin if you are not sure of it's destination.

11. If you don't understand the meaning of the written clue phrase(or any other words), you can always use your favorite app to tranlate it. But it's not essential, because the important thing here is to listen to each FON inside the clue and then match that FON with the relative FON inside the FONS table on the left of the main center grid. When you have found it, then simply drag it to it's destination cell.

12. The task is complete when all available cells(36) have been filled.

13. On completion, the "next" button appears and clicking on it will take you to the ACCENT pages. In the case of the REVISION version, you will be directed to the Scores Page first.

14. Examples of single-letter CONS are demonstrated in the ALPHABET page if needed.
