Quick answers about word search puzzles and finding your answer key.
Answer keys
Where do I find the answers for my book?
Scan the QR code printed in your puzzle book, or enter your book code on the Find answers page. You will see the answer key for that book, one puzzle at a time.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. Answer pages open in any modern phone or computer browser, with no sign-up and no download.
Can I jump straight to a specific puzzle?
Yes. Type the puzzle number or pick it from the list, and use Previous / Next to move one puzzle at a time.
The QR code won't scan. What can I do?
Make sure the page is flat and well lit and hold your phone steady for a moment. You can also type the book code on the Find answers page.
It says my book could not be found.
Check the code for typos and try again. If it still doesn't work, contact us with the book title and the code printed in your book.
Can I print the answers?
Use your browser's print option on any answer page to print the puzzle that is currently shown.
Playing word search
Can words share letters?
Yes. Words often cross and share a letter, so one letter in the grid can belong to more than one word.
Which directions can words go?
Across, down, diagonally — and backwards in any of those directions — always in a straight line. See How to play.
How can I get faster?
Start with rare letters and long words, and sweep the grid row by row. Our tips page has more ideas.
