The Congo Rainforest: a free online word search

A Congo rainforest word search, free to play and printable, set in the green hush under the canopy where the okapi stays out of sight.

About The Congo Rainforest

The Congo Basin holds the second largest rainforest on earth, a wet green mass that spreads across six countries in Central Africa. Light comes down in pieces here, and the floor is quiet except for rain, river water and the odd crashing of something large moving off through the ferns. Most of the animals are shy, which is why people can spend weeks in the forest and see only a tail or a footprint in the mud.

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.
