A caption, turned in place

Tap a backward word to face it. The painting stays in its furrow until every backward word is faced.

Turn a caption, then face it.

Your saved paintings supply the words. Each painting uses its maker or title line, with every other word turned letter by letter.

  1. 01

    Turn draws a saved painting that is still loose and has a multiword maker or title.

  2. 02

    Tap a backward-spelled word to record a face. A forward word records a yaw and leaves the furrow turned.

  3. 03

    Retract peels away the latest face or yaw. When all backward words are faced, the painting moves to Saved.

Keep the paintings you choose.
