A word search game, online

In a classic word search you get a list and the words lie in straight lines. Word Trails gives you no list, only a theme, and the words twist and turn in any direction.

Word Trails on a phone

How it differs from a classic word search

  • The word list is hidden; you work the words out from the theme.
  • Words are not straight lines: after any letter they may turn in any of eight directions.
  • There are no filler letters: by the end all 48 letters on the board belong to words.
  • A fresh board every day, plus an archive of past days.

On a phone or a computer

On a phone you draw the trail with a finger; on a computer you use the mouse or the keyboard (arrows, Space and Enter). It runs in the browser with nothing to install and stays quick even on a slow connection.

Themes

Themes come from everyday life: breakfast, the weather, musical instruments, space, the seaside, sport and more. Each language has its own set: 96 English puzzles, 101 Russian and 96 Uzbek.
