Instructions

Too easy? Set the game difficulty in the options menu to change the directions that the words are in. Want to up the challenge? Try timing your word search or hiding your word list. Looking to make the puzzle even harder? Try Maniac Mode!
WORD SEARCH TIPS & TRICKS
Don’t focus on the word list at first. Almost every word search puzzle will contain a handful of obvious words that’ll just pop out at you. There’s no need to even bother looking at your list of words until you’ve circled all the obvious words first and find yourself in need of some help.
Look for multiple words at the same time. Once you’ve found the obvious words, look at the list and try keeping two or three words in your head. You’ll be surprised how often you’ll stumble upon one word when looking for another one.
Leave the hardest words for last. If you’re having a hard time finding a specific word, skip it and look for another one instead. A good strategy is to find as many easy words as possible quickly, and then use the rest of your time looking for the remaining one or two hard ones. Once you identify the easy words on the board, the hard words will become easier to spot.
Look for the last letters of the search words. Many people have an easier time looking for letter clusters than looking for the letters in the order they’re written. If you decide to look for letter clusters while doing your word search puzzle, look for the last three or four letters of the word instead of the first couple. You’re less likely to waste your time chasing false leads that way.
Say the word out loud. People find that saying the word they’re looking for out loud helps stimulate the part of their brain that’s thinking about the puzzle and looking for words. But be careful that you’re not in a place where you can embarrass yourself!
WHAT YOU LEARN FROM PLAYING WORD SEARCH
Much like in our word scramble game, players will rely on their spelling and vocabulary skills, as well as their ability to find words among scrambled letters.

Word Search Puzzle
Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is a word search puzzle? (Définition)
A word search puzzle grid (also called word search or hidden word) is a letter grid with several words written in all directions (including diagonals). Letters can be shared between several words. The principle of the game is to find the words composing it. The list of words is sometimes given, sometimes kept secret.
The dCode keyword solver attempts to find the list of words automatically.
How to solve a word search puzzle?
A word search puzzle can be solved by browsing/scanning the whole grid, row after row, letter after letter, and try to find words in the 4 direction (2 horizontal: from left to right or from right to left backward, 2 vertical: from top to bottom and from bottom to top) or even 8 directions with diagonals, in order to find words. A complementary technique consists in aiming the unused letters.
The goal of the game is usually to find a solution/answer word consisting of remaining letters that are never used by any word, it can be an answer like a word or a secret message.
Some words can be placed twice in the grid but will only be displayed once by dCode.
The dCode word search word finder is fully automatic and can search the answer words automatically (yeah, that’s cheating), it colors the grid with the found / scratched words and indicates their coordinate (line, column).
Example: PUZZLE (1,2) ↘ indicates that the word PUZZLE was found, its first letter is line 1, column 2 and goes in the south east direction.
How to copy my grid effectively?
The program accepts grids by copying and pasting. If copying is not an option, take a picture or a screenshot of the original grid with a camera and use an OCR software (optical character recognition/scanner) to quickly copy and paste the grid.
How to improve myself with word search puzzles?
Several tricks for playing and find solutions with word-search/word-hunt puzzles:
— Use dCode to find the words and get the answers to each grid
— Do not rush, take your time not to miss out on words
— Use an exhaustive search criss-cross strategy (from top to bottom, bottom to top, left to right, right to left, diagonals etc.)
— By the end, select a word and search only this one among the remaining letters

Hidden word clues are less common in cryptics — a typical cryptic may just have one or two — but they are so nice and easy (which is why they’re often in short supply in cryptics!), I thought it would be good to cover them early in the piece. If you can find the hidden word clues in a cryptic, they are a good way to get something entered into the grid, which in turn will help you get a handle on the other clues.
So, why are these clues so easy? Well, the answer to the clue is actually staring you in the face, within the clue! OK, the setter has no doubt tried their best to hide the fact that the answer is right there in front of you, in plain view. So they can be tricky to spot sometimes, but they are basically a very easy clue device.
For example, the word PLAN can be hidden inside BIPLANE. And the word ROSE can be hidden inside the words ALLEGRO SERENADE. The last example is more typical of these sorts of clues … the word is often split across two or even three words in the clue. Just ignore the spaces and any punctuation like hyphens, or commas, and so on.
Hidden word clues tend to clue short words, too, so they’re unlikely to be used in the longest words in a crossword grid.
As with many other types of cryptic clues, hidden word clues have indicator words. These are words that tell you that the answer is within the letters of the clue. so words which give a sense of containment, insertion, or concealment can indicate a hidden word clue. Here are a few examples:
- a bit of
- buried in
- central to
- covers
- employed by
- from
- held by
- in
- part of
- revealed by
- sample of
Now that you’ve got a little idea about the mechanics of a hidden word clue, let’s see what a real one looks like:
Herb’s buried in a filthy meadow (5)
No need to mourn poor Herb … In this clue, buried in is the hidden word indicator. Herb is the definition (and it’s not a name). Where is the name of a herb buried? In a filthy meadow, of course. Did you spot it? Yes, the answer is THYME (filTHY MEadow).
Here’s another example:
Pilfer a bit of waste alexandrite (5)
The hidden word indicator here is a bit of. The definition part of the clue is pilfer. Luckily, you don’t need to know anything about gemstones to solve this clue … the answer’s right in front of your eyes, within waste alexandrite. You know the answer is 5 letters long, so you can scan through the letters of waste alexandrite, in sets of 5. I’m sure you got it — waSTE ALexandrite. Easy!
Here are 5 hidden word clues to have a go at. Griff (staying warm in his bag) is the guardian of the explanations and answers, scroll past him when you’re ready for the full reveal!
1. Scapegoat concealed self esteem (3)
2. Tapestry covers primates (4)
3. Enjoyment from malfunction (3)
4. Rug held by dermatologist (3)
5. Warmth in the atrium (4)
Explanations
These are quite straightforward clues, so the explanations aren’t long!
1. Scapegoat concealed self esteem (3)
Concealed is the hidden word indicator here. Self esteem is the definition, and the 3 letters you’re looking for are in scapegoat.
2. Tapestry covers primates (4)
Tapestry is what covers another word for primates.
3. Enjoyment from malfunction (3)
What can you get from (indicator) malfunction? Another word for enjoyment, of course!
4. Rug held by dermatologist (3)
That dermatologist, what’s he up to? Holding another word for rug. I’m sure you can find it!
5. Warmth in the atrium (4)
This clue splits the hidden word over two words. Warmth is the definition, and the answer is in the atrium.
