Type any theme and Wordary builds you a word search for it. Dinosaurs. Sushi. Space pirates. Your cat's name. Type it in, and a puzzle made for that theme appears in seconds. Or tap one of 31 hand-made packs and start playing right now. A WORD SEARCH THAT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT WHAT YOU LIKE Most word searches hand you the same tired lists. Wordary makes one for whatever you're in the mood for. Boards you've made are kept on your device, so replaying a favourite theme is instant and free. 31 PACKS, 4,000+ WORDS Animals, Food, Music, Space, Sports, Nature, Weather, Ocean, Colors, Jobs, Birds, Bugs, Pirates, Myth & Magic, Science, Sweets, Countries and more - every word hand-checked. Seasonal packs arrive for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Winter. YOUR OWN DICTIONARY Every word you find is kept in your Wordary, with the day you first found it. Fill each pack's collection bar, spot the long and rare words, and earn medals as it grows. FIND THE HIDDEN PHRASE On some boards the leftover letters spell a secret phrase. Solve the board and watch it light up. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY The Daily Puzzle gives everyone the same board. Keep your streak going, open a daily gift, finish three daily missions, then see where you land on the leaderboards for daily streak, puzzles solved and words found. LEVEL UP AND EARN INK Every word you find earns XP toward your next level, climbing ten ranks from Reader to Wordary. Ink comes from every board you solve - spend it on extra hints, saving a streak, or new highlighter styles, paper looks and word-found celebrations for your boards. MEGA OF THE WEEK One enormous grid hiding about 80 words from every category. Pinch to zoom, drag to explore, and chip away at it across the whole week - it remembers exactly where you left off. SHARE A BOARD Made one you love? Send a friend the board as a picture - they get the code and the very same puzzle, letter for letter. PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Big, hard 12x12 boards with diagonals and backwards words • Tap Play and work through board after board of random themes • Zen mode for unhurried play, or Timed when you want the pressure • Day and Night themes • Three free hints on every board • Reduced-motion option for a calmer screen • Gentle haptics and sound, both easy to switch off Calm, uncluttered, and built to be played one-handed. Wordary needs an internet connection to play. Remove Ads and Premium lift that requirement, so your puzzles come with you on a plane or the subway.
