About Working with Clay

Press your hands into a lump of clay and coax it into a bowl, a vase, or a simple pinch pot, and something quietly changes. Pottery is one of humanity's oldest crafts, fired vessels have been found at sites thousands of years old, linking today's home studio to ancient hands that worked the same earth. Whether you build with coils, roll a slab, or let the wheel do its spinning magic, every piece carries the honest mark of how it was made.

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.
