Granny Wordsmith

A daily word game from Granny’s orchard

A gust of wind shakes apples off Granny’s tree, and every apple has a letter. Pick them, spell words, and bake pies before they hit the ground. A new orchard every day.

How to play

Three steps to help Granny bake her pies.

Pick

Slide your picker under a column and pick the lowest apple. Red apples are common, yellow ones are worth more, and green apples are rare and worth the most.

Spell

Line up letters into a word and take it. Short words go in Granny’s basket. Change your mind? Tap the last apple to put it back.

Bake

Words of four letters or more bake a pie. Be quick: the faster you spell, the bigger your bonus. Apples that hit the ground rot.

Something new every day

The same riddle and the same orchard for everyone, every day. Come back tomorrow for fresh apples.

Granny’s Riddle

A new riddle every day. Granny gives you a clue, like “What goes in my apple pie”, and hides a few words in one tree. Find them all before the apples hit the ground. Other real words you spell earn hints, and every day you solve it keeps your streak going.

Granny’s Pick

Three trees named for apple flavours: Sweet, Mild and Tart, easiest to hardest. Pick each tree clean in as few words as you can, try to beat Granny’s best score, and pick all three days in a row for a streak of its own.

Daily Arcade

Endless gusts that keep getting faster. Bake 12 pies for Granny, earn monthly ribbons, and chase today’s high score.
