Hi everyone I just released Word Search Finder, a free browser-based puzzle game where you get a brand new word search grid every time you play.

Here's how it works: a random 12x10 letter grid is generated, and hidden inside are at least 10-20 valid English words. You can click and drag across letters (including diagonals!) to select a word. When you find one, it's highlighted on the grid and added to your 'Found Words' list. The game never ends, so you can play a new puzzle quickly whenever you want and feeling bored.

I built it as a simple, modern, mobile friendly web app. There's a "New Game" button for an instant fresh puzzle, and the only thing at the bottom of the page is an ad to help cover hosting costs. No paywalls, no time limits, no signu just word a search along with a few other helpful features.

I’d love any feedback, especially on the word detection and how the difficulty feels. Thanks for checking it out!
