How to Play
Word Search hides themed words in a letter grid. Click and drag across letters in straight lines (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) to select a word.
Find every listed word to complete the puzzle. Words can read forward or backward along the line.
The grid is 10×10 and the word list is short and tech-flavoured: REACT, GAME, CODE, WEB, APP, FUN, PLAY and WIN — eight words in total. Because several are only three or four letters, they often hide inside or across longer ones, so a letter you have already highlighted may belong to two different words.
Words may share letters with each other, and each new board places them in fresh random positions and directions.

Tips & Tricks
- 1Scan for rare letters like Q, X, Z to spot words quickly
- 2Check the word list and search longest words first
- 3Drag in one smooth line — diagonals count
- 4Found words stay highlighted on the grid
- 5With only eight words, start with REACT: its unusual letter combination stands out far more than three-letter words like APP or FUN
- 6Three-letter words are the easiest to overlook because they appear constantly as parts of other letter runs — search for them explicitly rather than hoping to spot them
- 7Words run in eight directions including backwards, so if you see a word spelled in reverse, drag from the last letter to the first
Frequently Asked Questions
Can words overlap?
Yes. Words may share letters on the grid and are still found as separate entries.
Are backwards words allowed?
Yes, if the letters spell the word in reverse along a straight line.
Is there a timer?
No timer — find all words at your pace.
How many words are hidden?
Eight: REACT, GAME, CODE, WEB, APP, FUN, PLAY and WIN.
How big is the grid?
10 by 10 cells, with every word placed in a random position and direction on each new board.
Do I need to drag in a specific direction?
No. Any straight line works — horizontal, vertical or diagonal, forwards or backwards.
