Ink Pots

What's inside

Brother Quill is the apprentice ink maker of the Mossgate scriptorium, and the cat has just knocked the letter tray into his ink pots. Lift the top letter of a pot and drop it on another pot or a mixing shell: every pot must spell a word (read from the bottom up) and the shells must end up empty. Each pour costs a drop of ink, so the shortest sorting earns three gold leaves. Every finished pot gives Brother Quill the ink to rewrite one line of his fable book: twelve of Aesop's fables, retold for this game, with the moral inked in red when a fable is complete. One Today's Page for everyone each day, 200 practice pages that grow from two small pots to five, earned satchels with hint quills and rare pigments that change the colour of your book.

• A new daily page every day, the same for everyone, with a streak
• 200 practice pages with a gentle, proven difficulty curve (every par is the true shortest solution)
• Any real word counts: find your own words and earn the Own Words badge
• A fable book to complete: 12 Aesop fables, 96 lines, inked as you play
• Earned surprises only: daily satchels, hint quills, 5 pigments, 11 badges, 7 ranks
• English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German; no accounts, no personal data
