Oceans & Seas: a free online word search

Oceans and seas word search, free to play, with the Atlantic waiting somewhere in the grid alongside waters most maps barely name.

About Oceans & Seas

More than two-thirds of the Earth's surface lies under saltwater, vast and restless. The Pacific alone spans more miles than all of the world's landmasses combined, while the Atlantic carries the great currents that shape the climates of entire continents. Beneath every horizon there are trenches, reefs, and drifting cold-water basins deeper and stranger than almost anything on dry land.

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.
