Word Find Free app review: test your word sleuth skills 2021

Introduction

If you consider yourself somewhat of a wordsmith, or better yet a super sleuth when it comes to word puzzles, then you will want to add the Word Find Free app to your repertoire of games.

The best iPad apps for quotes-2021

This word search app takes a classic approach to the popular word puzzle game so that you don't have to worry about fancy features and new rules. It's word searching just the way you remember, but created in a word search game for iPhone. 

Keep reading our Word Find Free app review to see if this is a good word search app for iPhone. 

Get Ready for a Challenge

Are you ready for some serious word search challenges? There are an infinite number of puzzles within this app which means you can play as much and as often as you like without having to repeat puzzles.

The app has a built-in word list that contains an incredible 29,000 words. Think of the puzzle possibilities with that kind of database! And don't worry: the app is appropriate for kids to play too as it's been through a number of profanity filters to ensure none show up.

You are taken to the first puzzle the minute you launch the app; with no fuss nor muss you are ready to start playing. The words are displayed across the top of the screen and as you highlight them there are sound effects. When you find a word on the list it appears as shaded.

I find the words a little hard to read across the top of the screen as they are quite small and closely placed together. That can make the puzzle a bit more challenging.

Moving Through the Puzzles

You will need to clear a puzzle board to move on to the next and to keep it interesting the boards are always a different color. Maybe some of the other colors make it easier to read the words across the top of the screen; I haven’t seen all of them at this point.

What's handy is that the app automatically saves your progress as you go so you can actually stop mid-game if you like. If you find yourself really stuck on a puzzle head into the menu and just start a new one.

As mentioned there are sound effects throughout the game but if you find them distracting you can also turn them off. Adding extra challenge to the search is that the words are interlocked so don't just look for ones off on their own.
