Find a word. Discover a world.
Turn a quiet moment into a little adventure with Word Explorer. Search for hidden English words, explore familiar themes, and enjoy the satisfaction of completing a puzzle at your own pace. Whether you have a few minutes to spare or want a longer challenge, there is a grid waiting for you.
60 PUZZLES, 20 THEMES
Explore 20 levels in each of three difficulties. Discover words inspired by nature, oceans, space, animals, travel, food, music, science, and more. Every level is available to choose from the start, so you can follow your interests or work through each difficulty in order.
CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE
Start with Easy, step up to Medium, or test your observation skills on Hard.
- Easy: a 7 x 7 grid with 5 hidden words, arranged horizontally or vertically.
- Medium: a 9 x 9 grid with 7 hidden words, including diagonal placements.
- Hard: an 11 x 11 grid with 9 hidden words in all eight directions.
SWIPE OR TAP TO FIND WORDS
Trace a word in one straight line, then release to check your selection. Prefer tapping? Select the first and last letters instead. Words can also be selected backwards. Correct finds stay highlighted and are marked in your word list. Find every listed word to complete the level.
A LITTLE HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT
Each fresh puzzle gives you 3 hints. A hint highlights the first letter of a word you have not found, giving you a starting point while leaving the discovery to you.
PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE
There is no countdown or time limit. The timer records active play, so you can enjoy a relaxed search or try to improve your personal best. Pause for a break and continue when you are ready. The game also pauses when the app goes into the background.
PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
Your unfinished puzzle, found words, remaining hints, and elapsed time are saved on your device. Return to Continue game on the home screen to resume your current adventure. The word-search puzzles are built into the app and can be solved offline.
MAKE EACH REPLAY COUNT
Replay any level to improve your best time or earn more stars. Finish without hints for 3 stars, use 1 hint for 2 stars, or use 2 or 3 hints for 1 star. Your highest star rating and fastest completion time are saved separately for each level.
MAKE IT COMFORTABLE
Enjoy a calm, nature-inspired portrait layout. Switch sound effects and haptic feedback on or off in Settings. Choose English, Chinese, or Follow system for the interface; the puzzle words always remain in English.
Take a break, follow the letters, and see what you discover next.
