Word Search · how to play
Find every word in the grid.
01
The rules
- Every word on the list is hidden in the letter grid as a straight line — across, down, or diagonal.
- On harder days words can also run backwards — the same straight line, read the other way.
- Each word appears exactly once — there are never two copies to confuse you.
- Find all the words to finish the puzzle.

How to play here
Press on a word’s first (or last) letter and drag to its other end, then release. A correct selection locks in green and strikes the word off the list; a wrong one just clears. You can select a word in either direction.
03
A starting tip
Scan for a word’s rarest letter — a Q, Z, or K narrows the search fast. Long words are also easier to spot than short ones: lock those in first, then use their letters as landmarks for the rest.
