## What is Eric's Word Search™?

Eric's Word Search is fun and easy. Look for the words and tap and drag through each as you find them. For a bigger challenge you can hide the word list. Hide the timer if you'd like to take it easy while you're playing.

The word lists were put together by me (Eric!) so they're all things that I think you'll enjoy. If you have an idea for a word list please let me know and maybe I'll add it to the next update. No purchase is necessary to play any category that you like.

Sometimes there are Bonus words in a puzzle. These words aren't listed in the word list. You don't have to find them to complete a puzzle, but if you do you'll earn extra points.

Put down your newspaper and pen, and download Eric's Word Search today!

### 2/5 — I like this game but…

*2024-04-12*

On two of the categories it says I’ve completed 7 out of 10 and 7 out of 9 puzzles respectively, but it only shows the 7 puzzles for each category, and there are no more puzzles for me to do. So unless you provide more puzzles, then I’m done with this game, which is disappointing because I like the game.

### 5/5 — Good job

*2020-04-23*

Thank you

### 1/5 — Not bad

*2020-02-13*

Would be a lot better if it didn’t crash every 2 minutes or so. Can’t finish a game without it crashing. I would probably give it 5 stars if it didn’t keep crashing.

**Developer response:** Yikes! Sorry about the trouble with my word search game. This is the first crash report I've received. Would you mind emailing me to see if I can figure out what's going wrong? eric@sniderware.com

### 3/5 — Ok but

*2020-02-02, version 1.0.1*

Eric does some great games but this could do with one or two improvements. What’s the point of a timer if the game doesn’t keep track of best times? What’s the point of a score if no record is kept of scores? What’s the point of the additional words if you complete the other words first - you can’t see what you missed. I’m still addicted to it, as I am to Eric’s other games.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!!!

*2020-01-31, version 1.0.1*

This game is amazing I’m only on a small level and already leant lots of different animals and pretty much everything.It really gets your brain a bit more because the word search is a  bit big is very challenging but fun!!!!!!!!
