Play Word Search online
Word Search is a letter-grid puzzle: find the listed words hidden among the other letters. I built this version for a quiet solo round or a race with a friend. You can choose a topic and difficulty before you start, so the same game can feel relaxed or competitive.
How to play
- Open Word Search and choose solo play or an online room with a friend.
- Pick your topic and difficulty, then read the word list beside the grid.
- Drag from the first letter of a word to the last, or tap its two endpoints.
- Check the direction arrows: Easy uses right and down; harder settings add more directions.
- Find the remaining words. In a two-player round, the first person to find a word claims it.
Modes and a useful starting point
Available modes: solo play, online with a friend, versus play. A daily puzzle is available too.
Start with a distinctive letter and scan for its neighbours rather than reading every row repeatedly. In a race, words found matter first; points break a tie. Solo Classic and Daily also reward time left when you finish.
