Word Search with clean controls.
Drag through a word to find it. Words are spread across the grid rather than stacked into crossings, and Easy hides nothing backwards — which makes the step up to Medium the biggest single jump in the game.
A grid of letters hides every word on the list. Press the first letter, drag to the last, and let go — the trail highlights as you drag, and a correct word stays marked and is struck through on the list.
Words can run in up to eight directions, and which ones are in play depends on the difficulty. Some puzzles carry a theme, shown under the difficulty, telling you what the words have in common; puzzles drawn from the general dictionary show none.
Grid and list both grow — and the directions change.
The grid grows faster than the list does: Expert has twice Easy’s words but nearly four times the area to hide them in. Average word length climbs from about five letters at Easy to nearly nine at Expert, which keeps a big grid from becoming a hunt for scattered three-letter fragments.
| Tier | What it is | What that changes |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 8×8, 6 words, 3 forward directions | Left to right, top to bottom, and diagonally down-right. Nothing is reversed. |
| Medium | 10×10, 8 words, all 8 directions | The biggest step in the game: a grid you could read like a page now needs sweeping every way, including backwards and upwards. |
| Hard | 12×12, 10 words, all 8 directions | More area per word, and diagonals that need a deliberate pass. |
| Expert | 15×15, 12 words, all 8 directions | Nearly four times Easy’s area, with words averaging close to nine letters. |
Two hundred puzzles to start — fifty in each of the four difficulties.
Extra puzzles come as packs, sold one at a time. There is no bundle you have to buy to get a fair deal, no "unlock everything" upsell, and no subscription — you buy the pack you want and nothing else.
| Easy pack | 50 puzzles | $1.99 |
|---|---|---|
| Medium pack | 50 puzzles | $1.99 |
| Hard pack | 50 puzzles | $2.49 |

Purchases are tied to the account you sign in with, so they survive a reinstall or a new device. Prices are US dollars; your local store will show its own.
Not fewer ads, not optional ads, not a "rewarded" video in exchange for a hint. There is no advertising code in the app at all, so there is nothing to interrupt you, nothing to accidentally tap, and nothing that starts appearing later once you are invested.
The Android advertising ID is absent from every one of our binaries, and none of them asks permission to read it. That is checked automatically on every release build before it ships — it is a property of the artifact, not a promise in a policy.
No name, no email address, no phone number, no contacts, no location. When you sign in, the platform offers the app your display name and avatar; the app never reads them.
Your identity with us is a one-way salted hash, computed separately for every game. The same person playing two of our games is two unrelated IDs, and we could not connect them if we wanted to — we removed the ability rather than promising not to use it.
No subscriptions. No expiring content. No energy timer, no "come back tomorrow", no currency to top up. You buy a puzzle pack and it is yours, on every device you sign in from.
Anonymous gameplay measurements: how long a puzzle took, whether it was finished, how many hints it needed. We use them to check that a puzzle labelled Hard is actually hard. Saying that plainly is stronger than implying nothing is measured — the privacy policy spells out every field.
You should not have to take our word for any of it. See the receipts
Finished and in final testing. Coming to Google Play soon.
