Find the hidden words in the letter grid.
About Word Search
Word Search is the classic puzzle you may know from newspapers and puzzle books. Each day there is a theme and a list of 8 words, all hidden in a grid of letters.
Words can run across, down, diagonally and even backwards. Slide your finger from the first letter of a word to the last. When you find one, it is colored in and crossed off the list.
There is a new puzzle every day, the same for everyone. There is no clock and no limit on tries, so you can take it slowly.
How to play
- Find all 8 words from the list. They are hidden in the grid.
- Words can run in any direction: across, down, diagonally, and backwards.
- Slide your finger from the first letter of a word to the last.
- Stuck? A hint shows the first letter of a word, but lowers your score.
Tips
- Pick a word from the list and look for its first letter. Then check the letters around it for the second letter.
- If a word has an unusual letter, like Q, Z, X or J, look for that letter first. It is easier to spot.
- Remember that words can run backwards. You can slide from either end of a word.
- Using a keyboard or a screen reader? Choose the first letter of a word, then the last letter.
Questions about Word Search
How do I mark a word?
Put your finger on the first letter, slide in a straight line to the last letter, then lift your finger. On a computer, hold the mouse button down and drag.
Can I get a hint?
Yes. Tap Hint and the first letter of a word is outlined in the grid. You can get one hint for each word you have not found. Each hint lowers your score a little.
What happens if I choose the wrong letters?
Nothing bad. We tell you the word is not in the list, and you can try again. Wrong tries do not lower your score.
Is there a time limit?
No. Take as long as you like. The game ends when you have found all 8 words.
