ABOUT
A fun word hunt for all ages
Word Safari is a casual word puzzle where you hunt for hidden words inside a bright letter grid.
Instead of looking for one single pattern, you scan for words that can appear forward, backward, and diagonally. As you progress through categories, each discovery gives you a burst of confetti and a sense of progress.

PROGRESSION
Start easy, then sharpen your focus
New rounds typically introduce more words or trickier placements. The best way to improve is to keep your eyes moving and scan systematically.
If you get stuck, slow down and re-check the edges and corners first. Many words start at locations that are easier to spot.

RUN TIPS
Quick strategies for faster finds
- Scan one direction at a time — Pick a direction (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) and scan consistently to avoid missing overlaps.
- Check category clues — If a round focuses on Animals, Food, Space, or Jobs, your target words are easier to predict.
- Look for rare letter starts — Words usually start where a rare letter or clear sequence appears.
- Slow down for diagonals — Diagonal words often require careful alignment. Take a second to confirm the path.
