Word searches have a special charm that lets them survive the passage of time and the impact of technology. Since the famous inventor Pedro Ocón de Oro began publishing the first challenges in the newspaper ABC, word searches have traveled around the world, and as expected, many online entertainment portals have added them to their list of games. Below we share three of them, which let you play immediately, without registrations or accounts.
Classic and Modern at the Same Time
As a child I always preferred word searches to crosswords, and nothing beat ending those sessions with a good bowl of the homonymous soup in the middle of winter. Fortunately, technological progress hasn't made word searches disappear; it has taken them to a different level, just as it has with parchís and Battleship. That means we can enjoy them following the classic route of "newspaper and pencil", or visit one of these three sites to play word searches online, without restrictions.
The Best Word Search Sites
Ensopados, by Buscapalabras
The Buscapalabras portal has a section dedicated to word searches called Ensopados, where you can quickly create puzzles to play with someone else, or alone against the clock. Six grid sizes, dozens of themes, reversed words, and hidden letters are some of the parameters available to increase the difficulty.
ePasatiempos
Themed puzzles (dozens of categories), with images, random words, and numbers define the options for playing at the ePasatiempos site. While we can't specify the board size or the final number of words, it's those restrictions that make its puzzles more interesting. Pick one and see how good you are.
WordSearch365
Want an even bigger challenge? In that case, the WordSearch365 portal has the answer. Its Campaign mode runs through all categories, and the further you go, the harder its puzzles (I've counted more than 300 levels). The Daily mode, on the other hand, presents a random puzzle, and you can only choose the difficulty level.
