About Children's Classics

The stories that find us earliest tend to stay longest, a velveteen rabbit worn soft by imagining, a bear of very little brain who somehow gets everything right, a girl who steps through a looking-glass into a world of beautiful nonsense. These are the books read aloud by lamplight, the pictures studied long after bedtime, the rhymes that surface whole and unbidden decades later. They belong less to childhood than to the imagination itself.

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.
