Word Search Games

A word search hides a list of words in a grid of letters. Words run across, down, diagonally and sometimes backwards: spot one, drag across it and it is crossed off the list. It is one of the calmest word games there is, and a good one for spelling and pattern spotting.

This section has 34 word search games: themed grids for Christmas, Halloween, Easter, food and science, harder puzzles against the clock, Boggle-style boards where you build words from neighbouring letters, and simple grids for children. Want your own puzzle? Make one in the Word Search Generator.
