The Spruce / Hilary Allison
These printable word searches will be sure to challenge even the most advanced puzzler. You’ll find three different levels of hard word searches below, each growing in difficulty based on the number of words you need to find.
There are the hard word searches with 30-39 hidden words, the very hard word searches with 40-49 words you’ll need to find, and the extremely hard word searches with 50 or more hidden words. I suggest starting with the first section and then moving on to the other puzzles after you feel confident that you can tackle them.
If these puzzles aren’t challenging enough for you, you can also consider making your own hard word search. Trade with a friend and see who can complete theirs the quickest.
Many other free word searches are available for just about every holiday and season as well as daily word searches, online puzzles, and word searches just for kids. Both adults and kids will love the challenge and fun these puzzles bring.

Word searches are a great way to have a little fun while exercising your brain.
If you like word searches and love a good challenge, this particular word search is deemed one of the hardest to crack.
While it may seem simple at first, the tricky part is that there are only three letters repeated throughout the entire word search, making your eyes start to see double and causing all sorts of confusion.
That is, unless you get lucky and quickly come across that hidden “dog.”
The answer to this tricky word search is posted on the next page, but we want you to try it out for yourself first before peeking at the answer.
Some say going through each individual letter until you finally come across the hidden “dog” really works.
And before you think this may be a trick, the two occurrences of the word “dog” written out above and below the puzzle don’t count.

Take a crack at it, and be honest when you tell us how long it took you to find it. We can assure you, there is a hidden “dog” within the word search, so keep at it!
When you’re ready for the answer, keep reading.
Is this what you found? Did it take you as long as it took us?
