Word Search: Hidden Words Puzzle for Girls

Word Search is a classic word puzzle. A list of words sits at the top of the screen and a grid of seemingly random letters fills the board below. Your job is to find every word.

Choose a category

Pick from categories like:

  • fruits
  • computers
  • countries

Choose a language

The game offers several languages, which makes it a fun way to practice vocabulary in a language you are learning.

How to play

Scan the grid carefully. Words can run in different directions. When you spot one, mark it, and it is crossed off the list.

Tips

Look for rare letters

Letters like Q, Z, X or J are easy to spot and narrow the search.

Search by first letter

Pick a word, find every place its first letter appears, then check around it.

Check all directions

Horizontal, vertical, diagonal and sometimes backwards.

A calm brain game

Word search is relaxing, but it trains attention to detail and spelling.
