How to Play Our Word Search Game

New to word searches? Follow these simple steps and you’ll be finding words like a pro in under a minute.

1

Check the Word List

On the right (or below the grid on mobile), you’ll see the words you need to find. Each one is hidden somewhere in the grid, colour‑coded for easy tracking.

2

Scan the Grid for First Letters

Pick a word and scan the grid for its first letter. Focus on uncommon letters like Q, X, or Z – they stand out like beacons.

3

Look in All 8 Directions

Words can run horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, both forwards and backwards. Try tracing each word letter by letter in every direction.

4

Click and Drag to Select

When you spot a word, click (or tap) on its first letter, hold, and drag across all the letters until you reach the last one.

5

Collect Bonus Points

Found an extra valid word that’s not on the list? Highlight it to earn 2 bonus points – they add up fast!

6

Complete the Puzzle and Advance

Once all required words are found, you win the level. Claim your reward and automatically move to a brand new puzzle.
