About Moths

When the last light fades from the sky, a different world takes wing. Moths, dusted in silver, brown, and the palest green, spiral toward lanterns and drift between blooms, sipping nectar that day-flying insects never find. They are ancient pollinators, as essential to the night garden as the honeybee is to the morning, and far more varied than most people ever realize.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last — the trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps — never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
