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

Find the hidden words in the grid!
Christmas reminds us of music and happy tunes, and the enchanted holiday brings to our minds the same magic words: sleigh, tree, pies, presents… Upon hearing these words, each of us think immediately of Christmas and smile to the angels or gaze upon the stars…
But when the letters that form these words are mixed with others and make them fade away, what remains of these words? The magic is gone, the lights are put out. There’s no dream, no music, the letters are just letters, scattered in a dull and silent place.
Will you help us return the spirit of Christmas, make the tinsels twinkle again, relight the candles, make the logs burn in the fireplace again, smell the scents and find the musical notes? Are you up for disentangle the entangled words?
Can you find the 22 words hidden in this grid, spelled vertically (from top to bottom) or horizontally (from left to right)? Once you’ve found one of these magical words, just click on the first letter and drag your mouse to the last letter to select it.
