Word Hunt — A Vocabulary Game That Actually Teaches You Something

Most word search games hide random names. Word Hunt hides real educational vocabulary — animal names, country names, planet names, sports and more. Each round you choose a category, and 8 words from that category are hidden in a 10×10 grid in all 8 directions. You have 90 seconds. It is the kind of game teachers use in classrooms, but fast enough to be genuinely addictive.

Frequently Asked Questions

In which directions can words be hidden?

All 8 directions — left, right, up, down, and all four diagonals. Words can also appear in reverse.

How is the score calculated?

You earn 10 points per letter in each word you find. Longer words like SATURN or FRANCE score more than short ones like PEA or FIG. A hint deducts 5 points.

Can I play on mobile?

Yes. The grid is fully touch-enabled — just press and drag across the letters with your finger.

What categories are available?

Animals, Fruits, Countries, Planets, Sports, Colors, Vegetables, and Birds — 8 categories in total, each with 8 words per round.
