Tap a letter and drag to trace the word; words may be hidden horizontally, vertically, or diagonally!
Word Search is a classic puzzle about finding words hidden horizontally, vertically, or diagonally in a grid of letters. Track each listed word letter by letter across the grid to hunt it down.
A free word puzzle for kids that builds word recognition speed and visual scanning.
Finding the listed words by scanning the letter grid in eight different directions builds systematic visual scanning and sustained attention. Because a word can be hidden horizontally, vertically or diagonally, the child gets used to trying different possibilities in turn instead of getting stuck in one direction. Selecting a word by dragging a finger from the first letter to the last also brings fine motor control into play. The letter grid gets bigger as the level rises, so the difficulty stays gradual and manageable — finding the short words first is an easy way to get your eyes used to the grid.
