Seasoned anglers often say the fish sense movement above the water, which is reason enough to sit very, very still.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
DRIFT
Letting the bobber drift naturally with the current, rather than holding it fixed, is a classic technique for presenting bait more convincingly.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

The Bobber: a free online word search

The bobber word search is free to play, no account needed, for anyone who knows the quiet art of watching the water.

About The Bobber

A particular kind of stillness settles over a person the moment the bobber hits the water. It rides the surface with an easy confidence, tilting with every small current, nodding in the wake of a passing dragonfly, and the whole world narrows down to that bright dot of cork or plastic. The line goes taut, the float dips, and everything that was patient and quiet suddenly snaps alive.

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.
