Word Search
About this game
Word Search is the classic letter hunt rebuilt for your phone. Every level scatters six hidden words through an 8×8 grid — forwards, backwards, up, down and diagonal. Drag from the first letter to the last and the whole word lights up and leaves the list. Clear all six before ninety seconds expire to bank a bonus and roll your remaining time into the next, slightly fresher grid. It starts easy and stays honest — a calm puzzle with a timer that keeps you honest.
How to play
Drag from the first letter of a word to the last — forwards or backwards in any of the eight directions. Found words light up and are crossed off the list. Clear all six before the timer runs out to advance.
Tips & Tricks
- Words can share letters — a busy crossing point is often two words at once.
- Scan for rare letters first — Q, J and X give a word away instantly in English grids.
- Diagonals are the classic hiding spot — sweep them slowly once before panicking.
- Banked time carries into the next level — clearing fast makes every later level calmer.
Frequently asked questions
How do I select a word in Word Search?
Press the first letter and drag to the last letter in a straight line — any of the eight directions counts, and backwards works too. Release to check the word.
What happens between levels in Word Search?
Clearing all six words pays a 100 point bonus and starts the next grid with 45 seconds plus whatever time you had left — fast clears make later levels easier.
