You're past the meadow now

Welcome into the grove.

This is the signed-in side — your Witcoin counts here, and your garden's keeping track. Pick a game, check the board, or go see what you've been tending.

The games

Finished early? · Grammar Boot Camp

The Skill Tree

The eight boxes from the poster. Do reps in the minigames, then take a check — bet 0 to 20, like the packet.

Typing

Feed the Tank

Type to feed the shrimp. Calm, go-at-your-pace typing.

Typing · adaptive

Quick Hands

One letter at a time. The keyboard wakes up as your hand gets steady.

Computer skills

The Workshop

Learn to drive the machine — the pointer, the screen, the files.

Typing · fast

Tank Defense

Zap the pests by typing their word. Typing, but with stakes.

Estimation

Guess the Tank

How many shrimp? Trust your eye, then check yourself.

Estimation

Swarm Scout

Eyeball the swarm, lock a guess, reveal. Big-number sense.

Patterns

What Comes Next

Spot the rule, call the next one. The rule's always shown after.

Spatial

Mirror Pond

Finish the reflection so both sides match.

Focus

Two Ponds

A little experiment on your own attention. The point's the noticing.

Vocabulary

Gossamer

A hard word, ringed by its own kin — and one hidden opposite. Read the web, find the odd one out.

Vocabulary · field lab

Gossamer · Field Lab

The same hunt, rendered in vector space. Neighbours cluster; the antipode hides among them.

Vocabulary · crossings

Ballooning

Spiderlings cross valleys on silk and wind. Pick a far word, walk there one kinship at a time.

Choices · reflection

Wander

Step through a field of shapes by eye alone, then look back at the path you chose.

Deduction

Tracks

The magpie hid one bright thing. Read the whispers, rule out the rest, say where. New every time.

Coming soon

The Thicket

A tangle of trick questions. The first answer that pops into your head is usually a little wrong.

Coming soon

The Key

Meet a real local tree, one either-or at a time. The key does the knowing — you do the looking.

Focus

The Reading Room

A quiet timer for real work. Sit down, begin — the magpie counts the sitting.

Words · deduction

Word Detective

The Saboteur inked out words all over the arcade. Read the clues around the gap and put them back.

Words · evidence

The Tell

Pimothy plants a word nobody has ever seen. Somebody in the sentence already gave it away — point at them.

Research · searching

Look It Up

Fifteen pretend searches before a real one. What goes in the box, how to throw out junk, what to click, and who to believe.

Number sense · factors

Divide & Stomp

You're a lanternfly. Land on a bug only if your spots divide its number with nothing left over. Designed by Wynn.

Geography · deduction

Somewhere

The magpie dropped you somewhere on Earth. Read the sky, the road, the signs. Pin it on the map and find out how far off you were.

Fighting · Journey to the West

Heavenward

Build a robot pilgrim, then knock seven fighters off the mountain on the road to the Heavenly Gate. Two players can fight each other too.

Making · yours

Sprite Workshop

Build a small creature out of pixels — dress one from parts, or draw every square yourself. Nothing here is scored.
