## Description

Word Search Scanner and Solver is a Chrome extension that helps you capture and solve word search puzzles quickly. Use a 4K live preview to scan puzzles from magazines, newspapers, or screenshots, and import images directly from your device gallery. The app automatically recognizes characters, with a manual correction option to ensure accuracy.

After scanning, solve the puzzle by treating it as a text document to search for words. You can share your results by exporting a picture of the scan along with the list of found words.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for being fast and easy to use when it works, and it can save time on word-search tasks or homework. However, reliability is a major issue: it often fails to read letters or locate all words. A paywall after a free trial and intrusive ads are common complaints. In some cases, users must manually type in many words due to OCR failures, which undermines the app's usefulness.

- Helpful for homework and extra credit

### Cons

- Ads disrupt usage
- Sometimes requires manual input because OCR fails to read the puzzle
