This game is based on the classic Wordsearch game, which has sold millions. - Invite your friends and challenge them to play. - FIND words the quickest. - PLAY on multiple devices. - PRACTICE and enhance your speed. _________________________________________ GAMEPLAY Wordsearch includes a 7X7 grid of letters that has hidden words. The words can be found horizontally, vertically, diagonally and also backwards. At the top of the screen, you will see a timer, and the word you’ll be searching will appear at the bottom. When playing against your friends, the object of the game is to see who can find the word the quickest. If you find the word faster it be marked in red.
