Word Search of the Day

National Cat Day

Cats meow at people and almost never at each other. Adult cats communicate by scent and posture; the meow is a signal they keep for humans, and many of them develop private ones for particular owners.

About Word Search Battle

Word Search Battle is a free online word search game. Play a puzzle on your own, or race a friend on the same grid in real time. Every game ends with points, so you can see your word search skills grow.

How to Play Word Search

Find and mark every word from the list hidden in the grid. Words run across, down and diagonally, and some run backwards. Each word you find earns points, with a little more for diagonal, backward and short words, and a solo game finished early earns a time bonus on top.

How the Battle Works

In a battle, both players get the same puzzle at the same moment. A word belongs to whoever finds it first: once one player marks it, the other sees it taken and cannot claim it. The player who finds more words wins.

How to Play Against a Friend

Both players open the word search game.

  1. One player starts a new game and sends the friend its game code or invite link.
  2. The friend joins with that code or link, and the race starts when both are ready.

Press "Next game" after each game to keep playing the same friend.

Word Search Facts

  • The word search is a young puzzle: Norman E. Gibat published the first known one in 1968, in the Selenby Digest of Norman, Oklahoma.
  • The same puzzle also goes by word find, word seek and mystery word.
