Word Search is a game composed of the letters of words formatted in a grid. Generally the word game grid is rectangular or square in nature. The goal is to find and highlight all of the words hidden in the puzzle. The words may be placed diagonally, horizontally, vertically, or backwards. All of the hidden words can be found in a list alongside the grid. Each word from the list will become a "muted" state after it has been highlighted in the puzzle.

Word Searches are not only a great way to pass the time, but also provide a great exercise for keeping your brain fit. Word searches have been found to boost learning in a number of ways including increased processing speed, improved working memory (both short and long term memory), advancing logical and strategic thinking, expanding vocabulary, strengthening spelling proficiency, as well as providing a creative outlet for problem solving and competition.
