GRIDLOCK
How to play

Click letters in sequence to spell a word — click A, then N, then T to build "ANT". Each new click must land on a letter adjacent to your last one (diagonals count). Click the same letter again (or double-click) to submit the word. Clicking a letter that isn't adjacent starts a brand new word.

Every puzzle hides 16 category words across 4 categories on a 5x5 grid. Any real word that fits a category's rule counts — a category isn't a secret fixed list, so if two different words both fit (like HEAT and CHEAT both ending in "AT"), either one is accepted. Each category word found is worth 10 points and fills that category's next open slot — slots show the letter count in brackets until filled.

Any other real word you trace gets checked and logged as a bonus word. Bonus words under 6 letters are listed but worth 0 points; 6 letters = 10 pts, 7 letters = 20 pts, 8+ letters = 30 pts.

Solve all 16 category words to win, or use Give up to reveal the solution.
