    How to select words in Word Search

    Select both ends

    XEMNOPXSTARPXEMNOPXEMNOPXEMNOPXEMNOP
    Drag from the first letter to the last, or tap both ends. Select the complete word in one straight line; it cannot turn a corner.

    Check the allowed directions

    Easy uses right and down. Medium adds downward diagonals. Hard uses all eight directions, including backwards.

    Shared letters, separate words

    XEMNOPXSTARPXAMNOPXNMNOPXDMNOPXEMNOP
    STAR and SAND share S in this example. Select each word separately if both appear in the target list. Overlapping placements can occur on Medium and Hard.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does the food bank contain drinks?

    TEA is included alongside food and ingredient names. It has three letters, so it can be selected for Easy puzzles rather than Medium or Hard.

    Why is finding APPLE inside PINEAPPLE not enough for both targets?

    Each listed word needs its own selection. If both are targets, select APPLE and PINEAPPLE separately; if only one is listed, the other does not count.

    Is Word Search free?

    Yes. Play without a download, account or sign-up.

    Can I play on mobile?

    Yes. Drag on the grid or tap both ends of a word. The word list appears below the grid on smaller screens.

    How does Hint work?

    Hint briefly highlights the first letter of an unfound word. Hints are unlimited and their use is recorded.
