How Word Search works
Press or tap the first letter, then drag across the complete word to select it. Correct finds remain marked on the grid and are crossed off the word list; an incorrect selection is briefly highlighted.
The surrounding letters include convincing near-matches, so check the whole selection before releasing it.
The daily Word Search challenge
Signed-in players receive the same daily grid and word list, changing at midnight UTC. Found words and active solving time are saved after play begins.
Finish every word to extend your Word Search streak. Unlimited mode generates another puzzle when you want a fresh grid.
Word Search scoring and time
Daily completions earn 6 points under 4 minutes, 5 under 5 minutes, 4 under 6 minutes, 3 under 7 minutes 30 seconds, 2 under 10 minutes, and 1 point for any slower completion.
Daily leaderboards rank players by completion time and still display points. Unlimited results appear in your game stats but do not award points.
