Word Grid guide
Find hidden words by tracing paths on a letter grid. New puzzle daily.
How to play Word Grid
- 4x4 grid
- Words of 4+ letters
- New puzzle daily
Goal
Find as many valid words as you can on the letter grid, then submit. Words must be at least 4 letters long.
How to play
- Connect adjacent letters (including diagonals) to spell a word.
- Each letter can only be used once per word.
- Submit the word — valid words appear in the found-words list.
- Longer words are worth more points.
Tips
Common suffixes (-ING, -ED, -ER) often unlock chains. The puzzle uses common English words only — no proper nouns or abbreviations.
- The path you are tracing
- Word accepted
- Not accepted, or already found
Finding more words
- Work outward from each letter rather than scanning for words you already have in mind - the grid rewards systematic tracing far more than inspiration.
- Letters connect diagonally as well as orthogonally, which is the connection most players miss; a word that looks impossible often runs through a corner.
- Once a word is found, try its variants immediately. Plurals and the common endings turn one find into three or four for almost no extra search.
Short words first
Longer words are worth more, but the obvious four-letter words are the quickest points. Take every short word you see and bank it; hunt for length once the short ones are exhausted. There is no clock to beat.
