Volcanoes: a free online word search

Volcanoes word search, free to play online. Magma chambers, pyroclastic flow, the kind of geology that makes the ground itself feel temporary.

About Volcanoes

Far beneath every volcano, rock melts under pressure so immense it becomes magma, a slow, churning river of heat searching for a way out. When it finds one, the mountain answers with a plume of ash that can darken skies for hundreds of miles, while rivers of lava reshape the land below. The aftermath is equally dramatic: obsidian glass, pumice light enough to float, and calderas wide enough to hold entire lakes, all carved by fire.

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.
