A word search, word find, word seek or word sleuth puzzle is a generic word game that consists of seemingly random letters arranged in a square or rectangular grid. The object of the game is to find and circle or highlight all of the words hidden in the grid as quickly as possible. Words may be hidden vertically, horizontally or diagonally within the grid. Words are normally arranged so that they can be read from left to right or top to bottom, rather than the opposite. Sometimes a list of hidden words is provided, but more challenging puzzles may let the player figure them out. Most word seek puzzles also have a common theme to which all the hidden words are related.
Word searches are commonly found in daily newspapers and puzzle books. Some teachers use them as educational tools for children, the benefit being that young minds can learn new words and their spellings by intensively searching for them, letter by letter, in the puzzle.
The puzzle grid may be represented instead as a string of characters in versions of the game designed for text messaging, or SMS, on mobile devices, particularly cell phones. In this case, the object may be to only find one word or a few words hidden among the character string. The hidden word(s) may be presented backwards more frequently than in the traditional word search puzzle as it is impossible to arrange them diagonally or vertically. A clue to assist the player in finding the hidden word(s) may be provided, as well.
