Dad's recliner word search

Dad's Recliner: a free online word search

Dad's recliner word search, free to play and needing nothing but a few quiet minutes, finds FOOTREST and CUSHION right where they belong.

About Dad's Recliner

Every home seems to have one, the chair that belongs to Dad and nobody else. The armrests are worn just so, the footrest rises with a satisfying click of the lever, and the remote has a permanent groove where his thumb rests. A good lamp angles in from one side, a blanket drapes over the back, and the whole corner carries the quiet authority of a place truly, deeply claimed.

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.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.
