The task is to find a word in a grid of letters. The first letter of the word is highlighted (in this case, "P"). Letters can be connected vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. A hint is provided to help identify the word.
#### Hint:
- "I am a city in the United States of America."

Identify the Path:
- Starting from "P" (top-left):
