Find the word "PHILADELPHIA" in the letter grid—letters can be connected vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.

Problem Description:

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."
- "I am where the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776."
- "I am also the city where Rocky is from."

Solution Approach:

1. Analyze the Hint:
- The hint mentions a city in the United States.
- It specifies that the Declaration of Independence was signed there on July 4th, 1776.
- It also mentions "Rocky," which is a reference to the famous movie series *Rocky*, set in Philadelphia.

From these clues, the city being referred to is Philadelphia.

2. Locate the Word in the Grid:
- The first letter of the word is highlighted as "P" (top-left corner of the grid).
- We need to trace the word "Philadelphia" starting from "P" and connecting letters vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

3. Trace the Word:
- Start at "P" (top-left corner).
- Move right to "H".
- Move down to "I".
- Move right to "L".
- Move down to "A".
- Move right to "D".
- Move down to "E".
- Move right to "L".
- Move down to "P".
- Move right to "H".
- Move down to "I".
- Move right to "A".

The path spells out "Philadelphia."

Final Answer:

The word is Philadelphia.

Explanation:

- The hint clearly points to Philadelphia as the city where the Declaration of Independence was signed and is associated with the movie *Rocky*.
- By tracing the letters in the grid starting from "P," we can confirm that "Philadelphia" is indeed present.

Thus, the solution is:

\boxed{Philadelphia}
