The word search puzzle was originally designed and published by Norman E. Gibat in the Selenby Digest on March 1, 1968
A word search, word find, word seek, word sleuth, or mystery word puzzle is a word game that consists of the letters of words placed in a grid, which usually has a rectangular or square shape. The objective of this puzzle is to find and mark all the words hidden inside the box.
Strategies
A common strategy for finding all the words is to go through the puzzle left to right (or right to left) and look for the word's first letter (if a word list is provided). After finding the letter, one should look at the eight surrounding letters to see whether the next letter of the word is there. One can then continue this method until the entire word is found.
Secret messages
Sometimes secret messages are hidden in the word search. In one variation, the secret message is created by all the words that are written backward in the puzzle.
Snaking puzzle
Some word search puzzles are snaking puzzles, in which the word is not a straight vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line, but "bends" at 90 degrees at any given letter.
Teaching
Word search puzzles are often used in a teaching or classroom environment, especially in language and foreign language classrooms. Some teachers, particularly those specializing in English as a Second Language use word search puzzles as an instructional tool. Other teachers use them as a recreational activity for students, instead.
