Clever Crow
About Clever Crow
A jar of water sits just out of reach, and the only way up is patience. Clever Crow borrows the old fable: drop enough objects into the jar and the water rises until it reaches the dotted line marked near the rim. You drag from the crow itself, aim over the jar's mouth, and let go to drop whatever object is queued next. Wind pushes objects sideways mid-drop, so a straight release from directly above the jar can still miss the opening by an inch. Levels bring narrower jars and gustier wind, which means later drops need a flatter drag angle instead of a straight yank downward, or the object skips off the rim entirely.
How to Play
- Drag from the crow toward the jar, then release to drop the object it's holding.
- Watch the wind indicator — gusts push falling objects sideways before they land.
- Keep dropping objects until the water level rises to the dotted line on the jar.
- Later levels use narrower jars, so a slightly angled drag lands more accurately than a straight drop.
Clever Crow FAQ
Why does the water stop rising even though I keep dropping objects in?
Objects that miss the jar's opening and land outside it don't count toward the water level, so a drop that looks close but lands on the rim wastes a turn instead of raising the water.
Why do my drops keep drifting to the same side?
The wind direction holds steady for a stretch before it shifts, so if early drops drift right, correcting your aim slightly left will keep landing centered until the gust changes again.
