About Word Search +
Word Search + is word search plus trivia. Expand your vocabulary AND learn more about pop culture, food, books, sports, geography, history, films, art, science, and more!
All our word lists were made by a person (me--Sarah!), and not by a computer. It took a lot of time to come up with all 321 categories, but it was definitely worth it! I think you will find that our word lists are BY FAR the most interesting and fun.
There are lots of ways to personalize the game. You can choose your own background, font, and pen color, or even use one of your own photos as a background. Try hiding the word list for an extra challenge, or turn of the timer and really relax.
The words are hidden in a new and interesting way each time you play, so you can play your favorite categories as often as you want.
The free version comes with 21 categories, including a massive SAT Vocabulary category with more than 4000 words. 300 more categories are available to buy, and there are also two new free sample categories every day.
• Great exercise for your brain
• 300+ categories (21 are free)
• Two new "Daily Free" categories every day at 6 p.m.
• Five puzzle sizes on iPad, four on iPhone
• Customizable fonts, pen colors, backgrounds and more!
• Tracks your record times and averages
• Free SAT Vocabulary category with 4000+ words
• New hidden word list challenge mode (It's hard!)

- New backgrounds: "Geometric," and also the option to choose your own background photo.
- New menu with lots of options next to the timer. Press the hamburger button (≡) to see it.

Thanks for being patient :)
