How to play

Findwords is a calm daily word search with big, easy-to-read letters, like a large print puzzle book. Every day brings one new word search puzzle, the same one for everyone. Every past day stays ready to play. There's also an archive of word find puzzles by size and difficulty, and dozens of themed packs. Play at your own pace, even offline.

There's no timer ticking on the screen, no lives, and no score. Just a grid of letters and a list of words to find.

HOW TO PLAY

Drag your finger across the letters. Words run in all 8 directions: across, down, diagonally, and backward. When you find one, it lights up and gets crossed off the list. A drag that misses costs you nothing. Stuck? A hint shows the first letter of a word, up to 3 hints per puzzle.
