The Planets: a free online word search

Eight planets circle our sun, and this word search puts all of them on a single page you can print and solve with a pen.

About The Planets

Eight worlds travel their ancient paths around the sun, each one a world unto itself. Rocky Mars wears its rust-red dust like a coat, while Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a storm wider than Earth, has been swirling for centuries. Out at the far edge of the solar family, Saturn's gleaming rings are made of countless chips of ice and rock, drifting in near-perfect silence.

How to play

    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.
