About Stained Glass & Stone

Step inside a great cathedral and the world changes. Crimson and cobalt light falls through soaring lancet windows, painting the stone floor in colors that shift with the hour. Every surface speaks, a gargoyle crouches overhead, tracery blooms like frost across the glass, and somewhere in the hush a carved figure stands watch, worn smooth by centuries of passing hands.

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.
