Word Search is the classic newspaper puzzle, laid out like a morning paper: a grid of letters and a list of words on one theme, such as Ocean, Travel or Weather. Find every word hidden in the grid. Draw a line with your finger or the mouse, or tap the first letter and then the last, and the word gets circled in ink.

Easy puzzles (8 × 10, 8 words) run across and down. Medium adds diagonals. Hard puzzles (12 × 15, 16 words) hide words in all eight directions, backwards too. Every puzzle also hides one bonus word that is not on the list.

A new daily puzzle comes out for everyone each day. Kids get a small grid with six short words, and large print has big high-contrast letters. You can make a puzzle from your own words, and any puzzle prints on one sheet with an answer key, for the classroom or the kitchen table.

Is Word Search safe?
Foundplay checks its link every few hours and gives it a daily safety check (malware blocklists, downloads, crypto miners, parked domains and fake virus warnings), and hides the game at once if that check fails.
