What is your little surprise?
Your message travels inside the link you choose to share. Our puzzle code does not upload it or save a draft. Anyone with the link can discover the message, so share it only with the people you choose.
Eight words. One little surprise.
Find the eight words in any order. They go right or down. Select the first and last letter, or drag between them. Keyboard: use arrow keys and Enter.
A little surprise is waiting. Take your time.
A surprise worth passing on.
Make a word search with your own message for someone else.
Make my own surprise →A word search with a secret message at the finish
Use a short personal message for a birthday, an invitation or happy news. The words in the grid are separate from the message, so the list does not give away your announcement. You can solve them in any order; the letters stay in place throughout the game.
Designed for a quick, kind surprise
Each puzzle has eight listed words in a 12 × 12 grid, running right or down. There are no backward words, diagonals or timer. A hint can highlight a starting letter. The recipient does not need to install an app or make an account.
How does the link work?
Your browser creates the message and puzzle link. The shared link carries the message and arrangement; we do not store the message in a server database. Anyone who has the complete link can uncover it. This is a surprise game, not a secure way to keep confidential information. Keep a copy of the link if you want to use it again; there is no account or recovery service.
Can I print this surprise?
This first version is made for sharing and playing online. It does not provide a secret-message PDF. For a printable puzzle using your own words, try the custom word search maker. For several arrangements for a table, use the group pack maker.
