About Root Vegetables

Below the tidy surface of the kitchen garden lies the real treasure, roots swelling quietly in cool, dark soil. Pull back a little earth and a carrot or parsnip emerges blushing with color, still warm from the sun above. These humble vegetables have fed families for centuries, roasted by the fire, mashed for supper, or tucked raw into a lunch pail on a crisp autumn day.

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.
