Enjoy some classic word search fun with just under 65,000 total words available... and that's just to start!

Modes

Create your perfect word search by combining the available modes to play the game you want to play!

Classic word search modes include:

Timed vs. Untimed

• Timed - Get as many words as you can before the time runs out!
• Untimed - Go for as long as you want (or until you complete the board)!

Single Board vs. Endless Boards

• Single Board - Game will only prepare one game board to find. When the words are found, the game will be won!
• Endless Boards - Game will create new boards when all words on the current board have been found. Get the highest score possible in the time limit (or until the end of time, if it suits you)!

Visible Words vs. Hidden Words

• Visible Words - The words you have to find are provided to you, like a classic word search!
• Hidden Words - The words you have to find are not shown to the player. Find all the given words without a hint!

Demo State

This game is very much a demo only and will likely have the occasional bug. Please leave a comment or reach out to me on Twitter (@ProDunctionsDev) if you notice any bugs as I would love to squash them all, but they are so darn hard to find sometimes! To anyone who takes the time to play in this early state, I hope you can enjoy it for what it is and will stick around as future updates hope to make it better!

Planned Improvements

Fear not, brave word hunters, the demo does not end here. I have plans for the future updates that include (but are not limited to):

• Addition of "Where's Wordy" Game Mode
  • The titular game mode is on the horizon, but you'll have to wait and see what I have in store. I think its a fresh take on word searches that lives up to the inspiration in its name, but you'll have to be the judge of that when I get it done!
• Addition of "Wordy" Character
  • I've been working hard to shake the dust off my Blender skills (if any ever existed) to bring the titular mascot of Where's Wordy to the small screen. You'll never guess WHO's in store... he's a real HOOT.
• Addition of Hangman Inspired Game Mode
  • We all know Hangman, we all love Hangman... but would we love it more if it was somehow combined with a word search and Wordle? Stay tuned to find out.
• General Game Feel Improvements
  • Currently the game is a bit drab, and I know it. Please consider all the UI and game assets as placeholders for a final product as they are definitely not up to my standards for a final product! Going to be adding lots of sounds, backgrounds, effects, and more to make the world more lively and enjoyable on the screen!
• Customization Options
  • The groundwork has already been laid and the plan is to pass the savings on to you! Ok there are no savings, but I plan to have lots of fun customizations you can unlock for various parts of the game world. I anticipate being able to customize your boards, tiles, "highlighter" (tile selectors), and many more things! I also think earning rewards is more fun than buying them, so I intend for all of these to be earned in game by earning some in-game currency base on your word hunting skills! You're on fire... your game tiles should be too!

Known and Predicted Issues

I will update as I find them what issues have already been identified and what issues I anticipate running into:

• Anticipated Issue: The dictionary of words I have is undeniably incomplete at just under 65k words total currently. I anticipate that many of these words are invalid in some ways as I have already noticed a few, but its hard to go through 65k words to find ones that shouldn't be there. To get a little "inside-baseball" on you, dictionaries are expensive (the ones you probably are thinking of cost $5k for any commercial use and I must have left that in my other pants), and without a 100% trusted dictionary to verify against, I am limited to more traditional "catch and release" style bug hunting in this case.
• Known Issue: The words in the dictionary are, as of this demo, only in English. Similar to the issues of dictionaries above, I can only speak English and have to stick with what I know, at least for now. I would love to add other languages as well, but I will definitely need some help with that in the future!
• Known Issue: This is possibly unavoidable but am looking for solutions until I confirm it is. When I upped the dictionary from ~200 words to ~65k, the time it took to load those words into the game increased significantly. I have made efforts to ensure this load only happens once upon startup, but am also going to look into ways to reduce the "load" (hehe) the loading adds to the system.
