Word search hides a short list of words in a square grid. Words run forward or backward horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Drag across letters to highlight a match.
Each puzzle uses a fresh random placement — good for a calm five-minute scan without account setup.
How to play Word Search
- Words from the list are hidden in the grid.
- Drag in a straight line through consecutive letters to select a word.
- Words may read in any of eight directions.
- Find every listed word to finish the puzzle.
Strategy tips
- Scan for rare letters first (Q, X, Z) — they anchor few possible words.
- Long words are easier to spot; clear them before hunting three-letter fragments.
- If stuck, pick one word from the list and trace each starting letter in the grid.
- Diagonal words are easy to miss — sweep each corner direction once.
- After finishing, hit New puzzle for another random grid.
Common questions
Can words overlap?
