Preparing your game…

Click or tap the two end cells. Use arrow keys to move, Enter/Space to select, and Escape to cancel.

Progress lasts only in this tab. A new game, reload, or language change resets it. Scores are not stored on the server.

How to play

  1. The 10×10 grid contains the 8 fruit names in the list. Words can run in all eight horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions.
  2. Select a word's first cell, then its last cell on the same straight line. Backward words count too, and no dragging is needed.
  3. Click, tap, or use arrow keys and Enter/Space. Escape cancels your first selection. Find all 8 words to finish.

Good to know

Look for the first letter of a long word, then inspect the eight directions around it. Words may share letters.

A selection must spell a word in the list exactly. Cancel a misplaced start cell or select the two ends again.

Play without signing in or submitting a score.

Word Search · Rules and strategy

Word Search is a puzzle about spotting and marking hidden words in a letter grid. Complete a fruit list using a board and vocabulary in the selected language.

Words and directions

The grid has 10 rows and 10 columns and includes 8 fruit names. Words can appear forward or backward horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. A valid word follows one straight line without bends or skipped cells.

Select two end cells

Choose the two ends of a word to check the straight line between them. Your first selected cell is marked while you choose the other end. Use Cancel Selection or Escape to clear it. Selecting an already found word does not increase the count.

Keyboard and language

Move between cells with arrow keys and select with Enter or Space. Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese use their own word lists. Progress lasts only in the current tab; a new game, reload, or language change starts a new board.

Worked example

If BANANA runs across one row, select B and the final A to mark it. Selecting the same two ends in reverse order also counts.

Frequently asked questions

Can words run backward or diagonally?

Yes. Check both directions horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, for eight directions in total. Each word follows a straight line.

Do I need to drag on a phone?

No. Tap the first and last cells separately. With a keyboard, use arrows to move and Enter/Space to select.

Will found words survive a reload?

No. Progress is not saved separately and resets on a reload, language change, or new game. There is no server leaderboard or score submission.
