The game Word hunt

Game instructions for word hunt

Choose difficulty by selecting from the buttons above. The first five levels are focusing solely on the number of valid words. In the five highest levels both the number of words and the number of letters in the words are counted. The found and accepted words are shown in a list on the right, chich is filled as you find the words on the board. You mark your words by dragging your finger or with the mouse over the letters on the word field. The selected word is shown above the word field. If you select a word you already have found, it will bounce in the list, but the word is not counted twice. If the word is not in our dictionary, or if the word is too short, it will be marked red above the board. The glossary in this game is based on common English words and we’re working to improve the content of our dictionaries.
To complete a level, you must find as many words as requested.

Calculation of knowledge points

Each completed game level gives 1 knowledge point in Word hunt. The maximum number of points (50 knowledge points) is achieved when you pass all 50 levels. You’ll get a bronze medal when you complete a level 2 times and a silver medal after 5 completed rounds. A gold medal will be received after 10 completed rounds. In Word hunt, the maximum number of collectable gold medals is 50. You only earn knowledge points for levels that has not been cleared before. A cleared level has a green background above. Even when you have completed a level, you can continue practicing at that level, but it gives you no more knowledge points.

Wordhunt was a national appeal run by the Oxford English Dictionary, looking for earlier evidence of the use of 50 words and phrases in the English language.[1] New evidence found by members of the public in response to the appeal appears in the Oxford English Dictionary.[2] The appeal is a companion to the BBC2 television series Balderdash and Piffle.

First Wordhunt[edit]

The first Wordhunt was launched in 2005 by the Oxford English Dictionary and the BBC and resulted in the OED updating the entries of 34 words and phrases, featured in the first series of Balderdash and Piffle broadcast in early 2006.[3]

The 50 words and phrases were:

  • balti
  • Beeb
  • bog standard
  • bonk
  • bouncy castle

  • gas mark
  • gay
  • handbags at dawn
  • her indoors
  • jaffa
  • Mackem
  • made-up
  • minger
  • minted
  • moony
  • mullered
  • mullet
  • mushy peas
  • naff
  • nerd
  • nip and tuck
  • nit nurse
  • nutmeg
  • Old Bill
  • on the pull

  • porky
  • posh
  • square one (back to…)

  • snazzy
  • something for the weekend
  • to throw one’s toys out of the pram
  • tikka masala
