    How to Play

    1. Choose a word from the visible list and find its first letter in the grid. Follow a straight line in a direction allowed by your difficulty.
    2. Drag from the first letter to the last, or tap both ends. A correct selection marks the word in the grid and the list.
    3. Find every listed word to finish. New game creates another puzzle in this topic; some words may appear again.

    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.

    Medium12 × 12124–9right, down and downward diagonals
    Hard15 × 15165–12all eight directions, including backwards

    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

    Focus the grid. Move with the arrow keys. Press Enter or Space to mark the first letter, move to the last letter, then press again. Escape cancels.

    A word search of movie titles

    Every target in this topic is a film title. The selection uses verified English release titles and is not restricted to films produced in the United States. It is chosen independently from the Spanish and Brazilian editions. Actor names, character names and filmmaking equipment are not added to fill the list. Spaces and approved punctuation are removed in the grid, but the list keeps the complete title. Longer titles are not shortened to fit a level.

    Words you may find

    Examples from this language’s word bank. Each puzzle uses a selection that fits the chosen difficulty.

    • Jaws
    • Shrek
    • Titanic
    • Toy Story
    • Matilda
    • Inception

    Tips for this word search

    • For a title with several words, follow the continuous sequence shown beside it.
    • Find an unusual run of letters rather than guessing a scene from the film.
    • A familiar title can still run backwards on Hard; check both ends.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to know the movies?

    No. All target titles are visible. You only need to match their letters.

    Are the answers movie titles or film vocabulary?

    They are movie titles, not words such as camera, director or soundtrack.

    Are TV series included?

    No. This topic is for films. The page does not mix TV series into the movie list.

    What happens when I change language?

    You open the corresponding topic in the same category. Each language has its own word list, so the content can change. The language menu names the destination before you select it.

    Is it free, and do I need an account?

    You can play in your browser without paying, signing up or downloading an app.

    Can I use a phone or tablet?
