the skeleton word search

The Skeleton: a free online word search

The skeleton word search is free to play, no account needed, just you and the bones that hold everything upright.

About The Skeleton

Beneath skin and muscle lies a living framework that never stops working. Bones are not inert; they store minerals, produce blood cells deep in their marrow, and quietly remodel themselves throughout a lifetime. From the domed cranium cradling the brain to the arched bones of the foot bearing every step, the skeleton is less a rigid cage than a responsive, ever-shifting scaffold.

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.
