1960s music word search, with the Beatles and Motown both hiding in the grid. Play it online, free, no sign-up needed.

About 1960s Music

The Sixties had a sound all its own, a Motown single on the radio, the Beatles on every turntable, a new record carried home in its paper sleeve. Before downloads and streaming, music was something you held: the 45 spinning, the jukebox glowing in the corner of the café, the hush of a concert hall as the lights went down. Each word here is a little doorway back to the songs that filled so many happy evenings, and got everyone up to do the Twist.

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.
