Word Search + is word search plus trivia. Expand your vocabulary AND learn more about pop culture, food, books, sports, geography, history, films, art, science, and more! All our word lists were made by a person (me--Sarah!), and not by a computer. It took a lot of time to come up with all 321 categories, but it was definitely worth it! I think you will find that our word lists are BY FAR the most interesting and fun. There are lots of ways to personalize the game. You can choose your own background, font, and pen color, or even use one of your own photos as a background. Try hiding the word list for an extra challenge, or turn of the timer and really relax. The words are hidden in a new and interesting way each time you play, so you can play your favorite categories as often as you want. The free version comes with 21 categories, including a massive SAT Vocabulary category with more than 4000 words. 300 more categories are available to buy, and there are also two new free sample categories every day. • Great exercise for your brain • 300+ categories (21 are free) • Two new "Daily Free" categories every day at 6 p.m. • Five puzzle sizes on iPad, four on iPhone • Customizable fonts, pen colors, backgrounds and more! • Tracks your record times and averages • Free SAT Vocabulary category with 4000+ words • New hidden word list challenge mode (It's hard!)

Great game app
11/12/2017

I always loved the word search puzzles as a child and this app takes it to a higher level. There are choices for everyone's interests and ones to help children learn, such as the state capitals, Presidents, etc. I have it on my iPhone and iPad, and the app on my iPad is a larger puzzle with a larger word list than the phone. The Extreme setting is challenging, especially when you're dealing with short words. It's also fun when you do song or title searches, such as the 'Beatles' or Fairy Tale categories. I especially like this game as I can relax with it while waiting for an appointment whether I have to wait 5 or 25 minutes, and even if I'm not finished with the game, it automatically pauses, and I can come back to it later right where I stopped at the same time setting and finish it up. Great app and great fun. ❤️❤️

I’m looking for the ultimate word search game for my senior mother and we gave this a try. At first things seemed good but then she started complaining that she kept “ending up elsewhere”. It’s the d*mn ads. They are so misleading that she doesn’t realize it’s an ad and ends up in the App Store or elsewhere. I’m sick of this crap. I get that developers need money so make your revenue by charging for the app. Or offer an ads free in-app purchase. Most ad content is less than reputable content from crap companies anyway. I decided to contact the developer regarding my concerns but when I click the developer link, I am forwarded to a domain that is “for sale”. Here’s an idea. If you aren’t making money and have decided to give up on your apps, REMOVE THEM FROM THE APP STORE. Your reputation drops considerably when you can’t take the time to update your information with the seller. It would be one thing if the app was 100% free but it has in-app purchase options for puzzles. Who gets that money? Why do you deserve it if you’ve abandoned your projects? Seriously annoyed.

Wonderful App

I use this app mostly for relaxing before I go to sleep. It relieves any tension and settles my mind down from all the issues of the day. I use it on my iPad because the app shows up larger and makes finding the words even more enjoyable. The apps helps me totally bring my attention to the present which is finding the words until whatever has gone on for the day is left behind and before you know it I’m ready to be off to sleep in my dreams. Also, I think it is an excellent learning tool for educational purposes such as remembering States and their capitals, foods, flowers, Presidents and recommend it as an excellent app for children to assist them in early learning development. I really enjoy it!

Best Word Search thus far

After testing about ten variations of this age-old game via apps, I think this one stands out: the ads that pop up after a game is done are barely intrusive, the screen doesn't hurt my eyes, the choices between challenge levels range for various ages and levels of pleasure or intellect, the timer doesn't have to be on if you don't feel like racing the clock but just want to soak in all the different words and how they're spelled. Highly recommended. N.B. I bought puzzle packs 1, 2, and 3, wiping away the ads. The packs are inexpensive and totally worth the money. Complaints about repetitive words are laughable if you spend a few dollars and discover the many imaginative categories of puzzles this young lady has created.

This update includes a few bug fixes. Thanks so much to everyone who has sent feedback! I hope you enjoy the update. -Sarah
