About Word Search

Word Search is the cosy classic: scan a grid of letters for the words on your list, hidden horizontally, vertically and diagonally — forwards or backwards. Swipe across each word you spot to lock it in, against pretty backgrounds that change as you play.

A hosted HTML5 game that loads in your browser when you press play.

How to play

  1. Read the word list beside the grid.
  2. Find a word hidden in a straight line in any direction.
  3. Swipe from the first letter to the last to select it.
  4. Find every word to complete the puzzle.

Tips & strategy

  • Scan for unusual starting letters first — they're quicker to find.
  • Sweep one direction at a time: across, then down, then diagonals.
  • Long words hide in fewer places — find them first.
