The Hayride: a free online word search

Hayride word search, free and printable on a clean sheet you can take outside and fill in by hand under whatever sky you've got.

About The Hayride

Hay wagons were pulled by horses long before tractors took over the job, and plenty of farms still keep a team or an old Farmall for the October rides. Most routes run past the corn maze and the pumpkin patch, then out along the orchard fence as the light goes.

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 color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets 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.
