❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I select words in Word Search Deluxe?
Click or tap on the first letter and drag to the last letter of the word. Release to check — if it's correct it lights up in cyan. Works in all 8 directions: horizontal, vertical, and all four diagonals.
Can words overlap in Word Search Deluxe?
Yes! Words can share letters in the grid. A single cell may belong to multiple words. This makes the harder difficulties particularly tricky since letters are reused across intersecting words.
Is Word Search Deluxe free to play?
Yes, completely free! No downloads, no accounts, no in-app purchases. New themed word grids are generated every round so you never run out of puzzles to solve.
How big are the Easy, Medium and Hard word-search grids?
Easy is a 10×10 with 8 words, Medium 13×13 with 12 words, Hard 15×15 with 16 words. Words sit in all 8 directions on every level. Themes rotate through Animals, Countries, Sports and Fruits so each round is a fresh list.
How is the score calculated in Word Search Deluxe?
Each found word scores 100 × difficulty (×1 / ×2 / ×3). Clearing the grid adds a time bonus of up to 500 that decays 4 points per second. Faster clears on Hard are worth far more than lingering on Easy.
Does the time bonus apply to every word, and does score reset between grids?
Time bonus is only on grid clear: max(0, round(500 − seconds×4)), ~0 after 125s. Word finds are 100 × difficulty (1/2/3). Clearing auto-starts the next themed grid and keeps the running score; Restart zeros it.
Can two people play Word Search Deluxe?

Does Word Search Deluxe have a hint, and do missed drags cost score?
No hint button. A miss flashes red and scores 0 — only a real placed word pays 100 × difficulty (×1 / ×2 / ×3). Switching Easy/Medium/Hard restarts the run at 0. Theme lists (Animals, Countries, Sports, Fruits) stay English on every locale; reverse drags count. Solo, free in the browser.
