About Word Search

Word Search is a free word search game you play in your browser, on a phone, tablet or computer. Each grid hides words from one theme, such as Ocean, Space or Kitchen: find them all by dragging across the letters.

There is a new Daily grid every day, the same for everyone, plus 16 themed packs, a Kids mode with 8×8 grids, and grids up to 15×15. Every grid also hides a bonus word. No ads, no timer unless you want one, nothing to download.

How to play

• Goal: find every word in the list. Each is hidden in a straight line.
• Mark a word: drag from its first letter to its last, or tap the first letter, then the last. On a keyboard: arrow keys to move, Enter on each end.
• Directions: Kids grids go across and down. Easy (10×10) adds diagonals, Medium (12×12) adds backwards words, Hard (15×15) uses all eight directions.
• Found words get a highlighter stroke and are crossed out. A wrong line costs nothing.
• Hint circles the first letter of a word; press again for the last letter.
• Hidden word: when all words are found, the leftover letters, read left to right and top to bottom, spell one more theme word.
• Daily: one grid a day for everyone; finishing it keeps your streak. Your time is kept as a personal best.

Questions

Is this word search free?

Yes. Word Search on Etheria is free in your browser: no ads, no download, no account needed. Pick a Daily grid, one of 16 themes, or a size from Kids 8×8 to Hard 15×15.

Is there a daily word search?

Yes. There is a new Daily grid every day, and everyone gets the same one. Finish it to keep your daily streak going.

How do you play word search?

Find each word from the list in the grid. Words run in straight lines across, down, diagonally or, on harder grids, backwards. Drag from the first letter to the last, or tap the first letter and then the last.

Is there a word search for kids?

Yes. Kids mode uses small 8×8 grids, short everyday words, and hides words only across and down. Every word list is checked so no rude words appear, even by accident in the filler letters.

Can I play word search on my phone?

Yes. It works on phones, tablets and computers in the browser, with touch, mouse or keyboard, and it keeps working offline after your first visit.
