## Description

Word Search + is a word search plus trivia game that expands your vocabulary across 321 categories, from pop culture to geography, history, films, art, science, and more. All word lists are handcrafted by a real person (Sarah), making the content richer and more engaging than computer-generated lists.

You can customize backgrounds, fonts, pen colors, or even use your own photo as a background. The game also offers a hidden word list challenge, a timer option, and fresh word lists that change each session. The free version includes 21 categories with many more available for purchase, plus two new 'Daily Free' categories every day at 6 p.m. It tracks your best times and averages, supports multiple puzzle sizes on iPad and iPhone, and includes a free SAT Vocabulary category with 4,000+ words.
