Letters and rules
Match the letters exactly, including accents. Select a straight line in a direction allowed by the level. Either end can be selected first. Only words in the target list count; incorrect selections do not cost points or end the game.
The list shows complete spellings. Spaces and approved punctuation do not use grid cells; accents and distinct letters are kept. Multiword entries also show the continuous letter sequence used in the grid.
Length is counted after this normalization. Names are not shortened just to fit a level. Longer valid entries may be reserved for another difficulty or left out of this version.
Select consecutive letters in a straight line without skipping cells. Words may share letters. Only unfinished entries in the word list count as targets.
When a listed word appears more than once in a valid direction, either complete occurrence is accepted. Finding it again does not increase your score.
The timer is not a countdown. Incorrect selections do not end the game. Hint highlights the first letter of an unfinished word without completing it for you.
Keyboard controls

Names and words from folklore and legends
The English edition selects names and terms used in English-language retellings, with attention to their original traditions. It is not a translation of the Brazilian or Spanish character lists, and it does not claim that every story began in an English-speaking country. Named figures and legendary subjects remain the core of each round. A smaller number of storytelling terms can appear, but ordinary animals, plants and travel destinations are not used to fill the list. This is not a puzzle about a music album called Folklore.
Words you may find
Examples from this language’s word bank. Each puzzle uses a selection that fits the chosen difficulty.

- Robin Hood
- Excalibur
Tips for this word search
- For a name with spaces, read the grid sequence before selecting it.
- Use the visible spelling instead of trying to recall a different version of the name.
- Look for repeated letters and unusual pairs in longer entries.
