About Looking For The Words
Swipe a row of letters in the right order and watch the block turn blue when it spells something real. Looking For The Words is a one-player word puzzle with an arcade streak, built around quick pattern spotting and a good memory for letters.
You drag across letter blocks horizontally or vertically, and a correct word locks in automatically. The blocks also carry messages, so paying attention to what is written on them pays off as you move up through the levels. It is a tidy pick for word fans who like something lighter than a crossword, and it runs in the browser on both desktop and mobile.
