How to play Winter Sports Word Search
- Every word in the list is hidden in the letter grid in a straight line.
- Drag across a word with your finger or mouse to select it. The selection snaps to the nearest straight line: across, down or diagonal.
- Prefer tapping? Tap the first letter, then tap the last letter to select everything in between.
- Found words stay highlighted on the grid and are crossed off the list. Find them all to finish the puzzle.
- Easy (10×10) hides words left-to-right and top-to-bottom only. Medium (12×12) adds diagonals. Hard (14×14) uses all eight directions, including backwards. Expert (18×18) and Extreme (22×22) pack in more words on a bigger grid for a real challenge.
Controls
- Drag across letters, or tap the first and last letter of a word.

Tips
- SNOWBOARD and HALFPIPE are long and fun to find; use them as anchors.
