The game of word search, or soup of letters, is a hobby that consists of seemingly random letters arranged in a grid square or rectangular. The objective of the game is to find and circle the hidden words in the grid as quickly as possible. The words may be hidden vertically, horizontally or diagonally in the grid. The words are normally arranged so that they can be read from left to right or from top to bottom, with greater difficulty in hobbies the opposite can also occur. Sometimes a list of hidden words is provided, but the most challenging hobbies may cause the player to discover them. Most hobbies hunting-word also has a common theme which all the hidden words are related.
