Keyboard: arrows to move, Enter to start a word, arrows to extend, Enter again to confirm, Esc to cancel.

At this size the whole ocean list can appear at once, from the shallow-water animals through to the coast and the people who work it. The board is wide enough that words rarely collide, which sounds easier and is not: there is simply far more of the field to read before anything turns up.

It prints well, which is really the point. One sheet keeps a table busy through an afternoon, works as a shared puzzle where several people circle different answers, and leaves plenty of margin for anyone who prefers to cross words off the list by hand as they go.

Break the sheet into quarters and finish one before starting the next; on a field this wide, wandering eyes cover the same ground twice.
