Difficulty Levels
| Difficulty | Grid | Words | Word length | Directions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 10 × 10 | 8 | 3–7 | right and down |

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

What is in this music puzzle?
The selection combines instrument names, genres and words used when music is performed. It is written for English-language play rather than translated from the Spanish or Brazilian music edition. An individual round includes more than one type of entry. This is not an instruments-only puzzle, a list of artists, or a collection of song lyrics. The entries and their positions can change when you start another game.
Words you may find

- guitar
- drums
- rhythm
Tips for this word search
- Look for a distinctive letter pair before scanning the whole grid.
- Use the word list rather than trying to guess a musical answer.
- On Medium or Hard, check the extra directions when a familiar word is hard to spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an instruments-only word search?
No. Instruments appear alongside genres and performance words, so each round covers several parts of music.
Does the game play songs?
No song recordings are needed. The puzzle can be completed with sound off.
Does it include singer names or song lyrics?
This edition focuses on musical terms, styles and instruments, not artist names or lyrics.
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?
Yes. Drag to select, or tap the first and last letter. On a narrow screen you can move within the grid area without moving the entire page sideways.
Will my progress be saved?
