Word Search

Spot every hidden word in ten fun categories

Word Search is the ultimate spot-the-word challenge. Hidden words are placed forwards, backwards and diagonally inside a grid of letters. Find them all to win. Choose from ten categories — Animals, Fruits, Colors, Countries, Sports and more — and a fresh daily puzzle appears every day.

How to Play Word Search

  1. Pick a category or play the daily puzzle.
  2. Scan the grid for the first letter of a word in the list.
  3. Look horizontally, vertically and diagonally — words can face any direction.
  4. Tap the start and end letters to highlight a found word.
  5. Find every word to complete the puzzle.

Tips & Strategies

Search for distinctive double letters like "LL" or "SS" first — they are easy to spot. Work the edges of the grid first, since words placed along edges are quicker to find. The daily Word Search resets every midnight.
