Monkeys & Apes: a free online word search

Monkeys and apes word search, no account and nothing to install, from the gibbon's haunting call to the chimp's knowing gaze deep in the canopy.

About Monkeys & Apes

High in the forest canopy, a troop of monkeys moves like a living current through the leaves, leaping gaps, grooming one another, filling the air with whoops and chatter. Apes, our closest kin, bring something quieter and more unsettling: the orangutan's slow, deliberate reach; the gorilla's steady, dark-eyed calm. From the tiny marmoset clinging to a vine to the resonant boom of a howler carrying miles through jungle air, this is one of nature's most vivid families.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft colour on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.Relaxed, Classic or Challenging set those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
