DAILY WORDSEARCH

A new word search every day

Drag across the letters to find the hidden words. Everyone gets the same daily grid — solve it, share your time, and watch your family try to beat it.

Free · No account needed · New puzzle every 24 hours

The game on an iPhone: an Animals puzzle with OSTRICH, HOUND, SHEEP and LEMUR already highlighted, and TORTOISE being dragged out.

A 30-second taste

Try it right here.

Five words are hidden below. Drag across the letters to pull one out — the same gesture the whole game runs on.

In the app words also run down, diagonally and backwards as the difficulty climbs.

Six ways to play

  • Daily

    One fresh puzzle every 24 hours, with a top-ten time leaderboard.

  • Easy

    Words run across and down. Somewhere to start.

  • Medium

    Diagonals added, so the grid stops being obvious.

  • Hard

    Plus words hidden backwards. Read every direction.

  • Cascade

    Beat the clock and find as many as you can before it runs out.

  • Custom

    Build a puzzle from your own words and send it to anyone.

What the game does

The daily

One puzzle. Everyone. Every day.

A fresh grid lands every 24 hours and every player gets the same one. Miss a day and the streak resets — which turns out to be motivation enough.

Progress you can see

Every word you find lights up.

Found words stay highlighted, so the board fills with colour as you work through it. Progress is something you glance at rather than a number you have to read.

Classic puzzles

Easy, then harder.

Three levels, and what changes is the directions a word is allowed to hide in. By Hard you are reading the grid every way at once.

  • Easy Words run across and down
  • Medium Diagonals added
  • Hard Plus words spelled backwards

Cascade

Beat the clock.

A grid, a long list of words, and a timer running down. Find as many as you can before it runs out — you get one run at each puzzle, and your count goes straight onto its leaderboard. It is the mode that turns five minutes into twenty.

A Cascade puzzle mid-play: the header reads FIND: GRAPE, the countdown shows 02:25, and GRAPE is highlighted in the grid.

The leaderboard

Race the people you know.

Same grid, same day, different times. Post yours and find out who in the group actually beat it. Times are verified, so the ranking is honest.

Custom puzzles

Make one for your family.

Type in your own words — birthdays, in-jokes, holiday memories — give it a title and send it to the family group chat. Then watch everyone try to beat your time on it.
