Questions
- How many words are hidden in this States word search?
- 18 words are hidden in a 15 x 15 grid. 5 run diagonally and 4 are written backwards, so a word can start anywhere and go in any of eight directions.
- How do I select a word on screen?
- Drag across the word from its first letter to its last, or tap the first letter and then the last. Both work on a phone. A correct word stays highlighted and is struck through in the list beside the grid.
- Is my progress saved if I close the tab?
- Yes. Words you have found are kept in your browser against this puzzle, so you can come back to it. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account.
- Can I print this word search instead?
- Yes. The printable version has the same grid at three difficulties and prints with the answer key. Playing on screen never uses up your copy.
