What it does

Everything a good word search should be

Made for unhurried play, and for eyes that would rather not strain.

An extra-large word search with three words found

Letters you can read

Big, bold and easy on the eyes

Extra-large mode gives you an 8 by 8 grid of huge, bold letters. Want more to hunt through? Switch to the classic 12 by 12 grid any time in Settings.

  • Drag across a word, from either end, and it snaps to a straight line
  • Dark mode and colour-blind friendly colours
  • Three kinds of hint: a nudge, a direction, or the whole word
  • A Listen button reads the words aloud and highlights each one as it is spoken

A habit that forgives

One puzzle a day, and a streak that has your back

A new puzzle arrives every day, the same for everyone. Finish it for stars and a growing streak. Miss a day and a free weekly streak freeze covers you, with a same-day repair if it ever breaks. Your best streak is never lost.

  • Timer off by default, one gentle reminder a day at a time you choose
  • A “Keep going” list on the Play tab brings back the puzzles you started
  • In extra-large mode, practice puzzles quietly adjust to how you play; the daily never changes
The Library with Make a puzzle for someone and ten collections

Made for someone

Send a puzzle with your words in it

Pick four to twelve words, like a grandchild’s name, a favourite place or a birthday, and share a link. They open it in the app and find your words in a big, clear grid. The puzzle lives inside the link, so we never see or store it.

  • No account for you or for them
  • Saved on their device, ready to play again
  • Every word appears exactly once, so nothing is ever wrongly refused

A thousand puzzles

Ten collections, a hundred puzzles each

Familiar words that bring something to mind, from the corner shop to the bird table.

Tablet layout: the grid on the left, your words and Leafy on the right.

How it works

Three calm steps

Find the words

Drag your finger across a word, from either end. It snaps into place and the word is crossed off.

Stuck? Ask for a hand

Two free hints a day: a first letter, the direction, or the whole word. No coins, no waiting.

Come back tomorrow

A fresh puzzle, a streak that forgives, and Leafy a little bigger than yesterday.

No pressure

No timer unless you turn it on, and one gentle reminder a day, never more.

Every puzzle is free to play. Leafy Plus is an optional extra.

Questions

Good to know

When can I get it?

Leafy Word Search is coming soon to Google Play and the App Store. This page will link to both stores on launch day.

Is it free?

Yes. Every puzzle is free to play, with two free hints a day. Leafy Plus is optional and adds unlimited hints.

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

No account is needed, and it works offline. Your progress, streak and settings stay on your device. On Android you can optionally sign in with Google to keep a backup that follows you to a new phone; you can delete it any time in Settings. Without signing in, deleting the app deletes your progress, so you can also save a backup code.

Are there ads?

There are no banners or pop-up ads, and there never will be. When you run out of free hints you can choose to watch a short video for one more. It is always your choice, and Plus or “remove ads” takes it away.

Which devices does it run on?

Android phones and tablets, and iPhone. Tablets get a roomier landscape layout on Android.

How do I make a puzzle for someone?

Open the Library, choose “Make a puzzle for someone”, type four to twelve words and share the link. They open it in the app. Nothing is sent to us.

What happens if I miss a day?

A free streak freeze, earned each week, covers a missed day. If a streak breaks, you can repair it the same day, and your best streak is never lost.

Who makes it, and how do I get help?

Leafy Word Search is made by Leafy Orb. Email support@leafyorb.com or see Support.

Coming soon. Bring a cup of tea.

A calm daily puzzle in big, clear letters. Watch this page for the store links.

Privacy at a glance

Progress stays on your device. Anonymous usage counts and crash reports are off unless you turn them on. The only ads are optional short videos you choose to watch for an extra hint. A puzzle you make travels inside its link. We don’t sell your data.
