The Rainforest Canopy: a free online word search

A rainforest canopy word search, free and printable, set among the orchids, vines and drifting mist far above the forest floor.

About The Rainforest Canopy

Most of a rainforest's life happens overhead, in a layered roof of leaves that can stand well over a hundred feet up. Down below it's dim and damp, but up top the sun pours in, and the branches are crowded with flowers, fruit and animals that may never touch the ground. Rain drips from leaf to leaf, and the morning mist hangs in the treetops like steam off a kettle.

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.
