Word search

Find TIME, HOUR, DATE, and WEEK across, down, or on a diagonal.

    Why this exists

    A class or a meeting can build a board from its own words.

    There is no ranking. The search stays in this browser.

    1. 01How to use it

      Put one word on each line and press Make.

      Press a cell and drag in a straight line to the end.

    2. 02What you get

      The count of words still hidden is on the page.

      A found word is struck through.

      EnteredSample

      TIME across or diagonal
      HOUR straight
      DATE straight
      WEEK straight

    3. 03Worth knowing

      The reverse of a word also counts.

      A bent path is not a selection.

    How this page works it out

    This page builds a word search from the words you type and lets you find them in this browser. The sample is TIME, HOUR, DATE, and WEEK. Only a straight line in one of eight directions counts.

    A shared cell is used only when the letter already matches. If a word cannot be placed, the page says it failed and does not force it in. One word is at most 12 letters, and the list holds at most 12 words.

    The page does not copy a published puzzle. The word box is not saved. Make only replaces the filler letters. There is no ranking.
