BROCANTE

About Antiques

Every antique carries the fingerprints of lives lived before ours, a brass handle worn smooth by a century of hands, a painted chest whose gilt still catches the light. Dealers and auction rooms have their own unhurried rhythm: the careful turn of a piece, the lean-in squint, the quiet moment before a price is agreed. What one generation set aside as old, another finds and carries home as treasure.

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.
