The goal

Find every word in the list hidden in the grid of letters.

Finding words

Drag from a word’s first letter to its last. Your selection snaps to a straight line.
Or tap the first letter, then the last.
A found word stays shaded in the grid and is crossed off the list.
Names and phrases are run together without spaces, like STARWARS.

Difficulty

Easy: 8×8 with 8 words, reading across or down.
Normal: 10×10 with 10 words, which can also run diagonally.
Hard: 12×12 with 12 words, running any way, including backwards.
Your best times are kept separately for each.

Themes

New puzzle lets you pick a theme: Movies & TV, Video games, Music, Sports, Everyday words, or a Mix of everything.
