At the Duck Pond: a free online word search

Duck pond word search, where mallard and gosling share the water and the whole quiet scene is yours to sit inside for a spell.

About At the Duck Pond

On a still morning the pond surface is a mirror, until a mother mallard paddles out and her brood spills after her in a bobbing line, each duckling leaving the tiniest wake. Goslings follow the same ancient instinct, filing behind a goose through the reeds in a hushed, single-file parade. A cygnet, ghostly white and cloud-soft, tucks close to the swan and rides the gentle ripple its mother makes without even trying.

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.
