Play word search online — themed puzzles, endless grids
How to play
Pick a theme and a size. Find the listed words in the grid and drag across their letters. The timer stops when every word is found; your best time per size is stored in this browser.
Themes
Animals, fruits, countries, colours, jobs and sports — each theme has 12 words, of which 8 are used for 10×10 and 12 for 12×12.
Who is it for?
Vocabulary and attention practice for kids, a quick break for adults. Start young readers on 10×10 with its shorter words.
Frequently asked questions
Which directions are words hidden in?
All eight: horizontal, vertical and diagonal, forwards or backwards. Look for each listed word along a straight line.
How do I mark a word?
Press on the first letter and drag to the last (finger or mouse). On release a correct word turns green and is struck through in the list.
Is it the same puzzle each time?
No. Words are drawn at random from the theme and the grid is rebuilt on every 'New game'.
