Word Search Online Free – Letter Grid Hunt
Word Search Online Free hides a short word list inside a letter grid. Drag across letters in a straight line—or click two endpoints—to mark a word. Found words turn green; clear the list to win, then start a new puzzle.
About this game
Words may run horizontally, vertically, or diagonally in either direction. A live list shows what remains; each find adds the word length to your score. NEW or R rebuilds the grid and word pack. Selections must stay on one straight line of cells.
Controls

Common use cases
- Hunt vocabulary on a quiet letter grid when you want a light puzzle break.

Tips
- Scan the list first, then chase distinctive letter pairs in the grid.
- If a drag misses, click the start letter and the end letter instead.
- Diagonal words often hide near corners—check both directions.
