General Tips

Tip 1: Ignore the Word List

To start the puzzle, I ignore the word list at first and just search out all the words I can find, focusing on the larger words, as they are the ones usually in the list.

Small words of only three or four letters show up less often and are sometimes accidental by-products of the miscellaneous letters tossed in to create the puzzle.

Searching first in one direction, then the other, both horizontally and vertically, I go through the entire puzzle.

Personally, I don’t try the diagonals for this, though you might want to try that as well. As I have astigmatism, the diagonals tend to "move" on me, making it hard to follow a straight line.

Tip 2: Search for Multiple Words at a Time

Look for more than one word at a time. This is especially helpful if you are playing on an electronic device or online and there is a timer involved.

Timers may or may not matter to you. It depends on the type. Some will time you out of the game entirely and end the game if you fail to beat the timer; others simply have a bonus for beating the timer, but the game continues anyway, and the timer keeps counting to track your best (and, sadly), your worst times/scores.

The version on my Kindle Fire has the latter type of timer. I regard it as a personal challenge to beat the timer and by as much time as possible. There are extra points for this feat, moving you closer to the next puzzle level faster.

Tip 3: Turn the Puzzle Upside-Down

This one only works with the paper and pencil type of puzzle, but oddly enough, sometimes, if you turn the whole puzzle book upside-down, a word may leap out at you that you hadn’t noticed or been able to spot before.

It can be a long shot unless you’re fairly comfortable with being able to read things upside-down in the first place. (I think this is a trick most parents are good at. Hahaha!)

Schools often use word search puzzles to help students with spelling and vocabulary words.

Tip 4: Use the Words in a Goofy Phrase

Make up crazy, nonsense sentences or phrases. The goofier, the better, as it helps you recall the words you are searching for. This is, of course, for when you are looking for more than one word at a time. For example, suppose the word list included these words: shoe, stagecoach, rainbow, and honeysuckle.

You can add in a couple of extra words to make the sentence; your brain will remember those are not in the word list. So, for the above example, I might come up with something like this (added-in words in parenthesis):

“(The) stagecoach (brake) shoe (smelled like a) honeysuckle rainbow.”

Total nonsense, and that’s the point. The goofier it is, the easier it is to recall because it’s funny—our brains like funny stuff.

Tip 5: Scan for "Impossible" Words

Find those "impossible to find" words. There’s always at least one, it seems. You usually leave them for last, anyway, and move on, especially in a timer-controlled game.

However, there are even a couple of tricks here. One of the most effective, albeit more time-consuming, is to simply run a finger along each row in turn, stopping at every instance of the first letter in the elusive word. When found, run your finger around to the adjacent letters in every direction, looking for the second, then third letters in the word. Move on to the next, until found.

Usually, this works. However, there are times, (though rare) that the puzzle makers goofed, and a word in the list gets left out of the actual puzzle. It’s annoying, to say the least, and frustrating in the end, because you cannot finish the puzzle (in an electronic or online game). In a book, it doesn’t much matter.

Oddly enough, it sometimes seems the shortest words are the hardest to find: they hide well.

Tip 6: Widen Your Focus

If you don’t want to spend the time going over one letter at a time, there is the option of just looking at the puzzle as a whole. Widen your focus, and look at the entire grid. If you’ve already found a lot of the words, look at how the puzzle now looks overall.

You may have sort of highlighted the word you’re looking for by virtue of all the other crisscrossing lines. In other words, it’s a negative space highlight. In an online or electronic device game, this effect is even more noticeable, as the found words are often highlighted in colors.

Tip 7: Look for the Final Few Letters

Another trick for hard-to-find words is to try looking instead for the final two or three letters appearing together.

That is often more successful, especially with words having a less-common pair of letters ending the word, such as "ux" (pas de deux), or "ey" (donkey), for example.

And yes, I’ve found some words or word pairs/sets borrowed from other languages in the tougher puzzles.

I created this puzzle by typing in the words, and using an online auto-generator to create the puzzle. See if you can spot the error it made.

Tip 8: Talk to Yourself

Talk to yourself. If you are alone at home, where you won't be disturbing those around you, go ahead and mutter the words you're searching for aloud. Believe it or not, this can help your brain to spot the word.

I do this all the time, and it used to drive my late hubby a bit buggy as he thought I was speaking to him. He'd say, "What?" I had to let him know I was just mumbling to myself. Hahaha. Then, I usually took the game to another room.

Tip 9: Back Up and Go Forward

Back up. Go forward. Say what?

Sometimes, you'll find a word, and (in an electronic game) it won't let you highlight it. It gets frustrating as you mutter, "What the heck? That's a perfectly good word!" Well, that's where backing up or moving forward comes into play.

Let's say you found (all by yourself) the word "achieve." But it won't let you select it. Don't try to find it in the word list; it wastes time if you're on a timed game.

Instead, look ahead, and see if there's another letter that could be added, such as a "d" or "r," making it "achieved" or "achiever."

You may, indeed, find such a letter, and you may also find that you still cannot select the word. So, back up. Look for other letters before, and you may find, for example, "under," making the word "underachiever" or "underachieved." Bingo! Now, it lets you highlight the entire word.

Tip 10: Experiment

Don't be afraid to experiment. As you go through the puzzle, particularly in phase one, while ignoring the word list, go ahead and try out oddball letter combinations that don't seem to be real words.

Try sounding them out to yourself. You may accidentally find a new word you didn't know before. For the most part, these will be words not in common usage. This is also true in crossword puzzles, where words like "ort," "erg," "gambol," etc., are tossed into the mix.

Also, some word search puzzles toss in words that are not really words but an imitation of sounds, such as "shh," or "psst." Abbreviations, such as "eta" or "etc" are also to be found. So don't be afraid to attempt selecting weird letter combinations.

And Finally, Just for Fun

When I’m doing word search puzzles, I am often frustrated at all the perfectly good words I find that do not appear in the list of words for which to search.

In the electronic world, nothing can be done about this. But in a pen and paper game, I make a point of circling them in a different color and listing them at the bottom of the page!

I don’t know if this is done by design or accident, but it seems to me it would make the puzzle all the more interesting and challenging if all the words actually appearing were in the list as well.
