SpotTheWord
A free daily word search game. Five boards, one hidden word each — the same puzzles for everyone today. Find them all in the least time.
No sign-up, no payment. Just today's words. How to play
What is SpotTheWord?
SpotTheWord is a free daily word-search game with a twist. Instead of a grid crammed with many words, each board hides just one. You get five boards a day, the same five for everyone in the world, with a timer running once you start the game and ends with your last move. No sign-up, no download, no payment: open the page and play.
How it works
- Pick a difficulty — Easy, Medium, or Hard.
- Each of the five boards shows the word to find in the banner above it.
- Drag across the letters to select the word — forwards, backwards, or diagonally.
- Solve all five as fast as you can; your total time is your score.
- Come back tomorrow for a fresh set of puzzles.
