About Harvest & Canning

When the days shorten and the first cool nights arrive, the kitchen garden gives its fullest account of itself, baskets heavy with beets, squash lined up on the porch rail, garlic plaits drying in the breeze. Inside, a stockpot steams and Mason jars wait in rows, their lids popped tight with a satisfying ping. The root cellar below holds the rest: turnips nested in straw, crocks of dill pickles slowly working in their brine, a whole larder's worth of summer put carefully to rest.

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.
