About The Orchard

An orchard in full harvest is one of the gentlest pleasures the season offers, boughs bending low with apples and pears, the warm sweetness of a ripe peach caught in the afternoon sun. Old varieties carry names as lyrical as the fruit itself: the golden Russet, the speckled Pippin, the dusky Damson plum. A good harvest basket, set down in the long grass, fills the air with a perfume that is half fruit, half turned earth.

  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.
