Frequently asked questions
What is Word Search?
Word Search is a word search game published by Omni-Lord. It holds 112 puzzles in 16 themed stops, and every listed word is placed exactly once in its 13 by 13 grid.
Does Word Search need an account or a connection?
No. There are no accounts, and the game is fully playable offline. Your progress is stored only on your device.
How do the journey and stars work?
The journey is the 112 puzzles in order, grouped into 16 themed stops. Finish a puzzle to open the next one. Every finish earns stars: 3 when you use no hints, 2 with one hint, and 1 with two or more, and a replay keeps your best.
How does the daily challenge work?
The daily challenge deals the same puzzle to everyone on a given calendar date, picked by a fixed hash of the date. Finishing it counts toward the journey, like any other finish.
How do I play?
Drag across a word in the grid, or tap its first letter and then its last letter. Words run in any direction, including backwards. The Hint button outlines one word still to find, free.
