About The English Pudding

The Christmas pudding has been the centerpiece of the English holiday table since the Victorian era, a dense, dark dome of suet, dried fruit, treacle, and spice steamed for hours until the whole kitchen smells of warm brandy and cloves. On Christmas Day it arrives wreathed in blue flame, a sprig of holly perched on top like a tiny crown, and somewhere inside, tucked in before the batter went into the basin, a silver coin promises good luck to whoever finds it. The snap of a paper cracker and the rustle of a tissue-paper crown completing the ritual are as much a part of the meal as the pudding 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 color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets 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.
