About Word Hunt
Letters hide in plain sight in Word Hunt, a word search that lets you trace each answer with a single sweep. Press and drag across the grid, and the letters you cover light up so you can see whether you found a real word.
There is an educational side to it, since hunting for words is a friendly way to practice spelling and pick up vocabulary. Sound effects and voices add some personality as you play. The grid is laid out tall, which feels natural on a phone, though a mouse works just as well on a computer.
