By the Fireplace: a free online word search

By the fireplace word search, free and printable. Ember, hearth, and the whole quiet world of a winter evening waiting just inside.

About By the Fireplace

Nothing quite compares to a wood fire on a bitter winter evening, the steady crackle of seasoned logs, the amber glow painting the walls, the slow curl of smoke rising up through the chimney. A favorite blanket, a mug of cocoa warming both palms, and a well-worn chair pulled close to the hearth can turn the coldest night into something genuinely sweet. This is the quiet art of staying in, and it never really goes out of style.

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.
