About A Game of Checkers

Checkers is one of the oldest strategy games still played around the kitchen table, with roots tracing back to ancient board games played in the Middle East over a thousand years ago. The rules are deceptively simple, slide your pieces diagonally, leap over your opponent's, and race to the far row, but the depth of play keeps generations returning. That electric moment when you finally reach the back row and call out "King me!" never loses its thrill, no matter how many times you've played.

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.
