Find all the hidden words!
How to Play Word Search
Word Search is a classic puzzle game where you find hidden words in a grid of letters. Words can be placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and may run forwards or backwards.
Rules
Select a word by clicking (or tapping) the first letter, then dragging to the last letter. Your selection must follow a straight line: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
Found words will be highlighted on the grid with a colored line, and crossed off the word list on the right.
Win the game by finding all the words. A timer tracks how long each puzzle takes, so try to beat your best time!
Tips
Start by scanning for less common letters like Q, X, Z, or J. These are easier to spot and can help you locate words quickly.
Try different difficulty levels. Easy uses a 10x10 grid with 8 words, Medium uses 12x12 with 10 words, and Hard uses a 15x15 grid with 12 words.
Choose from multiple themed categories including Animals, Countries, Sports, Food, Science, Space, Music, and more!
