Wordrop is a themed word search where letters fall. Each word you find is removed, the letters above drop into the space, and empty columns close up, so the board keeps changing. Exactly one answer is spelled out at any moment, and clearing it forms the next.
About Wordrop (Puzzleship)
A theme sits above the grid and the word list shows a row of blanks per answer, so you know each word's length. Answers run horizontally or vertically. After each clear the letters settle and a new answer appears, built from the remains of the last.
Since only one target is on the board at a time, there is nothing to prioritise. The skill is rereading after every collapse, in both directions, and noticing when a vanished column has pulled two distant columns together. When the grid gives nothing, the theme and the blank lengths narrow the search.
Puzzleship publishes six themed boards of Wordrop a day, graded from very easy to ultra hard. Each day's themed boards are numbered and dated, the same for every player, and go up at 13:00 UTC, although the page says midnight your time; earlier days stay playable in the archive. Puzzleship is run by Brainzil, LLC. The site is free with ads, and a premium plan removes them.
