About Word Search
Word Search is the classic hidden-word puzzle, free in your browser. Find every word from the list hidden in the grid of letters — across, down, diagonally and, on Hard, even backwards. Pick a theme (animals, space, food, the ocean and more) or let the game surprise you, and come back every day for the daily puzzle, the same for every player. Found words light up in bright highlighter colours, and a hint shows where a word begins.
How to play
Drag from the first letter of a word to its last to select it. Words run in straight lines: across and down on Easy, diagonals too on Medium, and any direction — backwards included — on Hard. Find every word on the list to win. Arrow keys move a cursor; Space marks the first and last letters. H shows a hint.

Tips for Word Search
- Look for unusual letters first — a Q, Z, X or J narrows the search quickly.
- Scan for the first two letters of a word together, then check every direction from there.
- On Hard, remember words can run backwards and diagonally.
- Long words are easier to spot than short ones; find them first.
- A hint shows where a word starts — it costs a few points but keeps a daily streak alive.
