Top of the Charts word search

Top of the Charts: a free online word search

Top of the Charts word search, playable online right now, built around the number one singles that once stopped you mid-step when they came on the radio.

About Top of the Charts

When a song hit number one in the 1960s, the whole street seemed to know it by nightfall. Transistor radios carried the news from bedroom windows to street corners, and a fresh single climbing the Billboard Hot 100 could shift the mood of an entire week. The scratch of the needle finding the groove, the paper sleeve slid aside, for a generation of fans, that moment of first listen was as charged as any concert stage.

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.
