About At the Easel

Consider the particular pleasure in the moment before the first stroke, the easel unfolded and locked in place, a fresh canvas glowing white under the studio light, the palette loaded with color and smelling faintly of linseed and turpentine. Everything has its spot: the taboret beside the easel, brushes fanned out by size, a worn smock hanging on the door. The studio, whether a spare bedroom or a sunlit barn, becomes its own world the moment you step inside and close the door.

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.
