With the word search game above, you can play the same category multiple times because the words are scrambled each time.

After the game loads, click the pink arrow buttons to choose a word search to solve (General, Animals, Automobiles, etc.). Then click the "Click Here to Begin Game" link.

HOW TO PLAY.  Here's how to play the word search game above. The category of words in your word search are listed on the right side of the game. To select which list of words you want in your puzzle, click the arrow to the right of the "GENERAL" heading.

After selecting the category, click the "Click Here to Begin Game" link to start playing. The list of words you selected loads into the puzzle.

Carefully look through the rows and columns in the puzzle. See how many words from your word list you can find! When you find a word, circle it.

To circle a word, simply drag the mouse from one side of the word to the other. The word is crossed from the list automatically.

To exit and start over, click the "Quit" link on the lower right.
