Word Search

Every grid here is generated fresh rather than pulled from a book, so you will never meet the same puzzle twice. Each one draws its words from a single theme, whether that is animals, weather, music or space, which keeps the list coherent and the search satisfying.

Three sizes are available. Easy is a ten-by-ten grid with seven words running only forwards and downwards; medium and hard grow the grid, add more words, and hide entries backwards and diagonally as well.

Words are claimed with two taps rather than a drag: the first letter, then the last. A drag fights the page on a phone, and two taps never scroll the board out from under you by accident. Found words strike themselves off the list, the clock runs while you hunt, and your best time on each size is kept on this device.
