About Clever Crow

Clever Crow turns a familiar fable into a hands-on physics puzzle. A thirsty crow needs the water in a long-necked jar raised to the marked line, and your job is to toss objects through the narrow opening to make that happen. Each object behaves differently: stones displace water, ice floats and melts, cork adds very little, and a sponge absorbs water. The fun comes from choosing a useful combination rather than throwing everything at random. Eight crafted stages add fresh situations, while later challenges introduce a crosswind that changes how you aim.

The crow is ready to drink when the water reaches the dotted line. Successful solutions are followed by the crow flying over to the jar, with three stars available for beating par.

How to Play Clever Crow

Use the mouse or touch control to pull back from the crow and release to launch an object.

Aim through the jar neck, taking the narrow opening and any wind into account.

Raise the water to the dotted mark, then try to finish under par for three stars.

Tips & Tricks

1Large stones displace plenty of water, but their size can prevent them from entering the neck.
2Ice can help after floating and melting, while cork gives only a small benefit.
3A sponge removes water, so choose it only when that effect fits your plan.
