Word Search · How to play
Word Search uses two endpoint selections to identify a straight word in the grid. There is no need to trace every letter with your finger.
Controls
Use the touch-friendly game controls. Detailed rules appear below the board.
Rules & goal
- Read the list of words to find.
- Select the first letter and then the last; the selection must follow a straight line.
- Found words are marked. Find the complete list to finish.
Beginner tips
- Start with an uncommon first letter and inspect nearby continuations.
- Scan rows, columns and diagonals systematically; a particular puzzle need not use every direction.
Progress & devices
Play in a desktop or mobile browser using the controls above. Some games save only in the current browser; clearing site data can remove saves. Pause when stepping away. Reloading is not guaranteed to preserve the current round.
