Penny Candy: a free online word search

Penny candy word search, nothing to install or sign up for. The glass case is open, gumballs on one side, licorice on the other.

About Penny Candy

The corner store candy counter was a small miracle of abundance, rows of glass jars filled with gumdrops, caramels, and horehound drops, each priced so a child with a few coins felt rich. You pointed, the shopkeeper scooped, and the rustle of a paper bag was the sweetest sound in the neighborhood. Some of those flavors, the bite of licorice, the slow burn of peppermint, the sticky pull of taffy, never really leave you.

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.
