Word Search with hints
A word search with a helping hand — find each listed word, with a hint when you stall.
Word Search with hints is a browser word search that keeps a little help in reserve: a grid of letters hides a list of words, and when one refuses to surface you can call up a hint to point the way. It is a game you play on screen, not a printable sheet. It runs free in the browser, with no download and no account.
A Puzzle That Meets You Halfway
It suits an hour on a coach with the countryside sliding past the glass, when the head wants a gentle riddle rather than a stubborn wall. You rake the letters in no particular rush, and on the one word that hides too well a nudge is there for the asking, so a good run never stalls into quiet frustration.
Controls
Drag from the first letter to the last of each word; tap the hint button when stuck.
How to Play
Read the list of words beside the grid, then comb the letters for each — they may run across, down, on a slant or backwards. Drag from a word's first letter to its last to mark it. If one keeps eluding you, call up a hint and it points you toward where that word begins. Clear the whole list and a fresh grid arrives.
