Word Hunt
Getting your grid ready…
Looking for a grid with plenty of words to find.
Make words by joining letters that touch: sideways, up and down, or diagonally. A word needs at least 3 letters, and each tile can only be used once per word.
Drag across the letters, or tap them one by one and press ✓. Longer words score more, and so do rare letters.
The Daily grid is the same for everyone and you get one go at it, with 3 minutes on the clock. Timed gives you a new grid every round. Relaxed has no clock at all.
The trophy next to the modes shows your best scores in each mode, and everything is saved in this browser.
On a keyboard, use the arrow keys to move, Space to pick a letter and Enter to send the word.
Play Word Hunt online
How many words can you find in sixteen letters? Connect neighboring tiles to make words, and keep an eye out for longer ones. There’s no word list to follow: spotting the words is the challenge.
A quick game or a quiet break
Try the daily puzzle to play the same grid as everyone else in your language. You have three minutes to score as many points as you can. Timed mode gives you unlimited new grids, while Relaxed mode lets you play at your own pace.
Find a few more words
Try starting from a different corner when you get stuck. A path can bend at every letter, so look beyond straight lines. Found a word? Check whether you can add a letter at either end, or follow the same path in reverse.
After a Timed or Relaxed round, you can review some of the words you missed. Tap a word to see its path.
