No pen, no crossing out
Tapped wrong? Nothing bad happens: no scratched-out letters like in a booklet. Found words are marked and crossed off neatly, automatically.
Do a word search online
A word search without a puzzle book and without a pen: you open the website and the grid is ready. Two taps per word — first letter, last letter — and the word crosses itself off. On your computer, tablet or phone.
Why online is more pleasant than paper
Always a fresh puzzle
A booklet runs out. Here the generator creates a fresh puzzle every time — each grid is unique and every word is guaranteed to appear exactly once.
Help when you're stuck
The hint button names a word you're still looking for and lights up its first letter. On paper you keep squinting; here you simply search on calmly.
Nothing to install
No app store and no updates: the word search works right in your browser, like any ordinary website. Open and start.

Frequently asked questions about online word searches
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. The word search runs entirely in your browser, like any ordinary website. There is nothing to download, nothing to install and no account to create.
How do I select a word without a mouse?
With two taps: tap the first letter of the word and then the last one. The squares in between are included automatically. That works just as easily with your finger as with a mouse.
Does it work on my tablet or phone?
Yes. The letter squares are large enough to tap, and on a narrow screen you simply slide the grid sideways. On a tablet or computer you see everything at once.
Do I need an internet connection the whole time?
Only to open the page. After that you simply fill in the puzzle; nothing is sent to a server while you play.
Can I keep puzzling on paper too?
Of course — online and paper don't exclude each other. Many visitors do both: online on the go, a booklet at home. For printable puzzles we offer our printable sudokus.
