How to play

In these puzzles, words may run across, down, or on a diagonal, and they may read forward or backward.

Goal. Find every word on the list. Words are straight lines and may share letters.
Drag. Press the first or last letter and drag to the other end. The highlight snaps to the nearest straight direction.
Tap. Tap the start letter, then the end letter. The same snap applies.
A miss. If those letters are not a listed word, the line clears. Nothing is deducted.
Found. A match stays marked on the grid, and that word is crossed off the list.
The list. Hide word list leaves the found count on screen. That choice applies to every word search and stays in this browser.
Another puzzle. New puzzle, Previous, and Next stay on this page. Each grid keeps its own progress here.
Print. Printing this page shows the grid and the full word list, without the site header.
Done. The puzzle is complete when every word has been found. The banner appears once.

Tips

Short flower names such as iris and crocus cross the longer ones. Check a marked letter for a second word.
A letter you have already marked can still belong to a second word.
Hide the list when you want a harder look. The found count stays either way.

Playing on a phone or tablet

Drag from one end of a word to the other. The page does not scroll while your finger is on the grid. You can also tap the first letter and then the last.
