About Garden & Nature

There is a particular kind of optimism in pressing a seed into dark, damp soil and firming it down with your thumb. The gardener's year turns on these small acts — a bulb tucked in before the frost, a seedling coaxed under glass, a first row of peas marked with a length of twine. Each one is a quiet promise between the gardener and the ground.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word from the list.Press the first letter and drag to the last — across, down or diagonally, forwards or back. Or tap the first letter, then the last.
  2. 2
    It stays marked.Found words get a soft teal line through them, on the grid and in the list.
  3. 3
    Make it comfortable.Use the A / A+ / A++ size control any time, or pinch the grid for a closer look.
