The Menorah: a free online word search

Menorah word search, free, no account, nothing to install. Find the flame and the branch, the glow growing a little brighter each evening.

About The Menorah

Each night of Hanukkah, one more candle joins the row, a ladder of light climbing toward the eighth flame. The menorah's branches reach out like arms, cradling wicks dipped in oil just as the ancient temple lamps once burned. Set in the window for all to see, that warm glow has announced the season in homes from Jerusalem to every wintry street corner for centuries.

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.
