Controls: Tap endpoints, or enable Drag mode on touchscreens to trace a word. Tab and Enter also select endpoints.
A new eight-by-eight grid gives you a small daily search with six words and a rotating theme. Explore nature, music, food, space, and other familiar topics as the days change. Everyone receives the same grid for a given UTC date. Words can run horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, in either direction. Tap the two endpoints or drag along a straight line to make a selection. Found words remain highlighted and are saved on this browser when storage is available. The timer records your pace without a countdown or penalty for mistaken selections. Find the full list to unlock an answer-free result you can copy and share.
A few useful tips
- Look for less common letters before scanning every row.
- Check diagonals as well as horizontal and vertical lines.
- Crossed words can share letters, so highlighted cells are still useful.
