Look at the word list, find the first letter of a word in the grid, then click and drag from that letter to the last letter. Words can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal—forward or backward. When you find a word, it turns green. Find them all to complete the puzzle! See our How to Play page for a detailed guide.
8×8 (Easy), 10×10 (Medium), 12×12 (Hard), and 15×15 (Expert). Smaller grids have fewer words and are great for beginners. Larger grids offer more challenge. Start with Easy or Medium and move up as you get faster.
We offer themes like Animals, Colors, Nature, Food, Sports, Space, and School. Browse our Themes page to see the full collection. Each theme has its own set of hidden words.

Absolutely! Teachers can use our online puzzles and printable puzzles for free. Themed puzzles work well with unit studies. No account is needed—students can play or you can print enough for the whole class.
Use the "Get a Hint" button! It will highlight one letter of a word you haven't found yet. That nudge often makes the rest of the word easier to spot.
Every puzzle is generated fresh when you create it. Words are placed randomly in the grid each time, so you'll rarely see the exact same layout twice. That means unlimited variety!
Word Search Fun works on computers, tablets, and phones. Any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) should work. For the best experience, use a device with a touchscreen or mouse for click-and-drag.
