Yes. Today's puzzle is free every day, plus a few practice puzzles on other themes. While Suvi is new, every past puzzle is open to everyone too.

How many words are there?

Fourteen in the daily 12×12 grid. The easy and large-print puzzles have ten words in a 10×10 grid.

Does it work on a phone?

It's built for phones first: the grid fits a portrait screen and you swipe to select. It works just as well on a tablet or a computer.

Themed Word Search – A New Theme Every Week

About Themed Word Search on Suvi

The themed word search shares its subject with the themed crossword: this week's list of forty to sixty words, from which a fresh 12 by 12 grid is dealt every day. Words run across, down and diagonally, forwards and backwards. Come back each day of the week for a new grid on the same subject; a new theme arrives on Monday at midnight in your time zone. Like every Suvi word list, it's our own and it's checked: generic words only, nothing rude, and nothing that belongs to another company.

How to play

Find every word in the list. Words run in straight lines: across, down, diagonally, and sometimes backwards.
Swipe from the first letter to the last (or click and drag on a computer). The line snaps to the nearest direction.
Found words stay highlighted and get crossed off the list. Find them all to finish and log your time.
Stuck? Hint lights up the first letter of a word you haven't found.

Controls

On a phone or tablet: Put your finger on the first letter and swipe to the last. Lift to check. Tap Hint if you need a nudge.

On a desktop: Click the first letter and drag to the last. Release to check.

Tips

Scan for unusual letters first: a Q, a Z, a J or an X narrows a word down fast.
Look for the first two letters together, then follow the line.
Backwards words hide best in rows you read left to right. Read the grid in reverse now and then.
The list is alphabetical, not in grid order: the last word on the list might be the first you spot.
