How it differs from an ordinary word search
In a normal word search you get a list of words and find every one. Here the list is hidden inside a sentence. You read the quote first, with gaps in it, and the gaps tell you what to look for. Some solvers guess a missing word from the sense of the sentence and then go looking for it; others scan the grid and let the quote fill in as words turn up. Both work.
How to play
- Read the quote at the top. The blanks mark the words you need.
- Scan the grid. Words run in straight lines, and some run diagonally or backwards.
- Drag across a word to mark it. A correct word drops into its blank.
- Find every word to finish the quote and post your time.
Where the quotes and sayings come from
Usually a short quote or saying, and on some days a brief writing tip, a wellbeing tip, a haiku or a riddle. The day's puzzle is the same for everyone, so you can compare notes with a friend. Credits for the sources are on the sources and credits page.
On paper, in large print, or make your own
You can print today's word search and solve it with a pencil. There is also a large print word search you can play on screen, and a word search generator that builds a printable puzzle from your own word list. If you want the plain definition, see what a word search is.
Common questions
Is this different from a normal word search?
Yes. The words you find are the missing words of a quote, so finding them completes the sentence. A normal word search just gives you a list.
How many words do I have to find?
Between four and eight, depending on the day. The puzzle tells you the target up front.
Do I need to know the quote?
No. The blanks and the grid are enough. Knowing the quote just lets you guess a word early.
Can I print it?
Yes. The daily pack prints today's word search with the quote and the answers on a separate sheet. A large print version is available too.
Is it free, and does it work on a phone?
It is free and plays in any browser. Dragging to select a word works with a finger on a touch screen.
