About Brushes & Paint

A good brush is a remarkably personal thing, painters often keep favorites for decades, worn to a perfect point by ten thousand strokes. Paint itself carries its own quiet chemistry: pigment ground into oil, water, or acrylic medium, each mixture pulling light differently across the surface. The palette, the glaze, the final coat of varnish, every step has a name, and learning those names is half the pleasure of picking up the craft.

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.
