At the Feeder: a free online word search

At the feeder word search, playable online right now, with cardinals, chickadees, and the rest of the birds that show up before the coffee's done.

About At the Feeder

A well-stocked bird feeder is one of the quiet pleasures of a backyard, the flash of a cardinal's red against winter-bare branches, the acrobatic hang of a chickadee snatching a sunflower seed before darting back to the hedge. Sparrows jostle and juncos scratch beneath for dropped millet, while a nuthatch inches headfirst down the post as if gravity were optional. The whole small circus runs on seed, suet, and a little patience from whoever fills the feeder each morning.

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.
