📖 How to play

How to play Word Search

Find every hidden word in the grid of letters by connecting them in a straight line.

  1. 1

    Read the word list

    The words you need to find are listed beside the grid. Every one of them is hidden somewhere in the letters.

  2. 2

    Hunt for a word

    Scan the grid for the first letter of a word. Words can go across, down, or diagonally, and some are even spelled backwards.

  3. 3

    Tap the first and last letter

    Tap the letter where the word starts, then tap the letter where it ends. On a computer you can also drag across the whole word.

  4. 4

    A correct word gets crossed off

    If you picked a real word from the list, its letters turn green and the word is crossed off. If not, just try again.

  5. 5

    Stuck? Tap Hint

    Tap Hint and the first letter of a word you still need will flash, so you know where to start looking.

How you win

Find every word on the list to clear the puzzle and win. A faster time makes a better score.

Look for less common letters like Q, Z, or X first - they are easy to spot in the grid.

Try easy for a smaller grid, or hard for a bigger grid with more words to find.
