Tips
Look for the rare letters first: a J, Q, X or Z narrows the search fast.
Scan for the first two letters of a word together, not the first letter alone.
On the harder levels, read each line backwards too.
FAQ Can a word appear twice in the grid? No. Every word in the list is in the grid exactly once, so the first match you find is the right one. Can I drag from the last letter to the first? Yes. A word is found when you drag over its letters in either direction. Is there a new puzzle every day? Yes. A new Word Search is published every day at each of the four levels: easy, medium, hard and expert. Earlier puzzles are in the archive. Do I need an account to play? No. You play right in your browser, with no sign-up and no cookies. Your progress is saved in your browser.
