Word Search by SunSwallow

Word search for people who'd rather not squint, hurry, or be sold anything.

BIG LETTERS

The whole grid stays on screen — no zooming, no scrolling — and you choose how big the letters are. Bigger letters mean a smaller grid with fewer words, and that is your trade to make, not ours.

DRAG, OR JUST TAP TWICE

Drag across a word if that is comfortable. If it is not, tap its first letter and then its last — the same move, without holding a finger down. A drag that wanders off true still lands on the word, and a word spelled backwards counts just the same. You never have to be precise, and you never have to drag the right way.

HINTS ARE FREE. ALWAYS.

Press Hint and the first letter of a word you have not found lights up. Press it again and the whole word shows. There is no limit, no cooldown, no video to watch, no coins to spend. Unlimited hints are the point of this app, not a thing we ration.

TAP A WORD TO SEE WHAT IT MEANS

Tap any word in the list and the dictionary already on your iPhone tells you what it is, right there on the puzzle. Words it does not know are not offered, so you are never shown an empty page.

THEMES WORTH READING

Backyard birds, trees, flowers, weather, the seashore, the kitchen, the workshop, the seasons. Every list is written by hand — no scraped filler, no words that are not words. Each theme remembers where you left off, so you can keep several going at once.

NO TIMERS, NO LIVES, NO STREAKS

There is no clock. Nothing counts down. Nothing resets if you miss a day. Put a puzzle down for a week and it is exactly where you left it.

ONE SHARED PUZZLE EACH DAY

Today's Puzzle is the same board for everyone in the world that day — good for comparing notes across the family. Finish it and it stays finished; there is no streak to break by missing tomorrow.

WHEN YOU WANT IT HARDER

Choose which ways words run — across and down, or add diagonals, or all eight directions with words spelled backwards. Ask for more words. Or hide the word list entirely and find them from the theme alone.

NOTHING TO ACCIDENTALLY TAP

Every button has a name as well as a picture. Works with VoiceOver and with the largest text sizes.

NOTHING ELSE

No ads — not even "watch a video to continue." No account, no sign-in, no notifications. No internet needed. No data collected, ever. One price, and it is yours; share it with your family.
