Themed Grids
440 hand-themed boards built around rivalries, competitions and careers.
Unlike the endless generator, these boards are grouped by subject — a derby, a competition, an era. Every one has been checked so that each square has at least two valid answers, and the numbers on each board show how many players qualify, so you can see where the difficulty sits before you start.
