What you'll practise
Word Search is a free, unhurried way to practise recognising German words. Clues appear in your own language and you find the matching word hidden in the letter grid. Scanning for a word among random letters trains you to spot its shape, which is what makes reading feel less like decoding.
How to play
- Read the clue list beside the grid.
- Find the matching word among the letters.
- Drag across it to mark it found.
ControlsDrag with the mouse, or drag with your finger on a touchscreen.
