Features & Capabilities

WONDERWORD is a classic word-search puzzle presented as the official Chrome extension. Each puzzle uses every letter in the grid, and a solution is revealed at the end. Grids come in 15x15 (Mon–Sat) and 20x20 (Sunday), with a Teleword variant in some editions.

Originating in the 1970s (Canada), WONDERWORD has a storied publishing history and is billed as the world’s greatest word search. The app offers three free puzzles weekly and uses a simple loop: read the word list, find and circle each word, then view the revealed solution after all words are found. It’s a brain-boosting, entertaining way to enjoy word searches on mobile and desktop.

User Reviews

Users praise the clean, engrossing puzzle experience and the daily puzzle flow, especially for those who recall the PC version. However, repeated issues with ads, app reliability (crashes, black/blank screens), and iPad-specific compatibility and readability problems dominate feedback. Some would pay for a functioning app with a broader puzzle library, but core performance problems hinder widespread satisfaction.

Pros

Clean, simple interface that is engrossing, like the newspaper version.
Long-time fan of the game on PC; the concept translates well across platforms.
Daily puzzles (one per day) are valued by players.
Some users would pay for a functioning app with a broader puzzle library.

Cons

Ads are intrusive and often unskippable, disrupting gameplay.
Frequent reliability issues: the app won’t open, crashes, or shows black/blank screens, especially on iPad.
iPad-specific problems: not working on iPad, blank screens, missing word lists, and layout/formatting issues.

Recent reviews

I understand that there needs to be ads, but the way they’re placed makes it impossible to play. Once in a while they’re not in the way and it’s playable, but it’s a rare occurrence.

At least once a week I try to open the app and it doesn’t work. Frustrating enough to delete the app and forget it

I love it! Clean, simple, and engrossing, like the newspaper version. The letters are pretty small and a bit too spaced out, which makes it kind of hard to see them. But other than that, it’s great.
