Word games

Word games reward a feel for letters and spelling. Word Search is our first word game: a themed grid of letters hides a list of words, and you find each one by marking it in a straight line. The word lists are written for each language the site supports, so the puzzle follows the language of the page.

A puzzle can take a few minutes, and the game saves after each word you find, so you can leave and return. On a phone or tablet you drag from the first letter to the last, or tap the two ends. On a computer you can use the mouse, or the arrow keys and Enter. There are three levels and a Daily puzzle.

Read the word list before you study the grid, because the theme helps your eye. Start with the longest words, and on the harder levels look for diagonals and for words written backwards. Keep your free hints for the last word or two.
