The Saddle & Tack: a free online word search

Horse tack word search, free to play with no account and nothing to install. From saddle to stirrup, the gear that readies a horse to ride.

About The Saddle & Tack

Tacking up a horse is a ritual as tactile as it is purposeful, the cool weight of a leather saddle lifted onto a warm back, the soft jingle of the bridle, the precise buckle of every strap. Good tack is fitted carefully: a well-placed girth, a correctly adjusted stirrup, a noseband sitting just below the cheekbone. Generations of riders have learned the names of every piece by hand and feel, long before they learned them from a book.

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 color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets 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.
