About Move Your Piece

Every board game has its moment of ceremony: the choosing of the piece. Whether you reached for the top hat, the little iron, or the humble thimble, that small act of claiming a token made the game yours before a single die was rolled. Across classics and modern favorites alike, these movers, pawns, discs, cubes, standees, boots, carry a player's whole fortune around the board, advancing and retreating with every turn of luck and strategy. The piece is never just a piece; it is a stand-in for the self, a placeholder that says, with quiet conviction, I am here.

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.
