About Word Search
Word search (also called a word find) hides a list of words inside a square of random letters. Words may run left, right, up, down, or diagonal. Circle each one until the list is empty. It is a gentle visual puzzle — good for kids and for a five-minute brain break — and this board is generated fresh each time you hit New Puzzle.
How to play Word Search
- Read the word list under the grid.
- Click or drag from the first letter of a word to the last.
- Valid words highlight and check off the list.
- Find every word to finish.
Tips
- Scan for rare letters (Q, Z, X) — they often pin a word.
- Look at the first two letters as a pair, not one letter at a time.
- Diagonals are easy to miss. Sweep those last.
Word Search FAQ
- Are words backwards?
- Yes. Words can run in any of eight directions, including reverse.
- Is this an easy word search?
- The default list is short and themed so most people finish without a hint.
