The Corner: a free online word search

Boxing corner word search, free to play online right now. The stool scrapes, the towel snaps, sixty seconds of hard-won wisdom in one corner of the ring.

About The Corner

Between rounds, the corner becomes its own small world. A trainer leans in close, voice low and steady, cutting through the roar of the crowd with exactly the words a fighter needs to hear. The cutman works fast, a cold sponge, a dab of Vaseline, a rewrapped hand, and then the bell calls everything back to the center of the ring.

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.
