About Word Search
Word Search is the classic puzzle game where hidden words are packed into a grid of letters. Your job is to spot them, reading forward, backward, up, down, or diagonally, and mark each one as you find it. It plays right in your browser on phone or computer, with no download required.
How to play Word Search
Look at the grid of letters and the list of words you need to find. Scan rows, columns, and diagonals in both directions to spot each word hidden among the letters. When you find one, mark or select it to show it's found. Keep searching until every word on the list has been located.
Tips for playing Word Search
- Scan each row left to right, then right to left, before moving to the next row so you don't miss backward words.
- Check diagonals separately from rows and columns, since they're the easiest direction to overlook.
- Start with longer or unusual words first, since their letter patterns stand out more in the grid.
