The Collection Album: a free online word search

Collection album word search, where the hidden words run from binder to sleeve, each one a small nod to the patience of keeping things.

About The Collection Album

Sliding a stamp into its mount, writing a neat label, and closing an album that holds a little piece of the world in order. There's a quiet satisfaction in that. Collectors have reached for binders, acetate sleeves, and indexed catalogs for well over a century, a system that is part habit, part ritual, part pride. The smell of a well-worn cover and the soft crinkle of a fresh plastic pocket are as much a part of the hobby as the treasure inside.

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.
