About Word Search
Word search is the classic find-the-hidden-words puzzle, right in your browser. A fresh grid of letters is generated every game with a handful of words tucked inside — running across, down or diagonally, forwards or backwards. Click or tap and drag a straight line over the letters to select a word; find it and it’s crossed off your list. Bigger difficulties mean a larger grid, longer words and more sneaky diagonals. It all runs locally — no signup, no download, nothing uploaded.
