Women Writers: a free online word search

Women writers word search, from Austen to Toni Morrison, playable free with no account needed.

About Women Writers

From Jane Austen's quietly ironic drawing rooms to Virginia Woolf's shimmering interior monologues, women have shaped the novel's very DNA. Sylvia Plath poured raw feeling into verse; Mary Ann Evans published as George Eliot to be taken seriously in a world that doubted her. Their words survived the doubt, the delay, and the dismissal, and they are still read with a catch in the throat today.

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.
