How to Play Word Search (Sopa de Letras)
Word Search — known as Sopa de Letras in Portuguese and Spanish — hides a list of words inside a grid of letters. Words can run left to right, top to bottom, or diagonally, and on harder levels they can even be hidden backwards.
Controls
- Press and drag from the first letter of a word to its last letter in a straight line.
- Release to check your selection — a correct word lights up and is crossed off the list.
- Words can be found in either reading direction, so don't worry about which end you start from.
- Stuck? Use Reveal All to see every remaining word instantly.
Difficulty and language
Easy keeps things simple with a small grid and words placed across, down or on one forward diagonal. Medium adds more words and both forward diagonals. Hard uses a large grid with all eight directions in play, including backwards words, for a real challenge. Switch the Language menu to Português for a full Portuguese word list.
What is Sopa de Letras?
Sopa de Letras is the Portuguese and Spanish name for Word Search — a grid full of letters that hides a list of words running horizontally, vertically or diagonally, in any direction.
How do I select a word?
Click or tap the first letter of the word and drag in a straight line to its last letter, then release. If it matches a word in the list it lights up and gets crossed off, in either reading direction.
Can I change the difficulty or language?
Yes. Use the Difficulty menu for Easy, Medium or Hard, and the Language menu to switch between English and Portuguese word lists. Changing either instantly builds a brand-new grid.
What changes between Easy, Medium and Hard?
Easy uses a smaller grid with words placed only across, down or on a forward diagonal. Medium adds more words and both forward diagonals. Hard uses a bigger grid with words hidden in all eight directions, including backwards.
