The Gloves: a free online word search

Boxing gloves word search with the full corner-man world hiding inside: canvas, satin, the stool that waits between rounds.

About The Gloves

Long before the first punch is thrown, a fighter is dressed piece by piece, hands wound tight in cotton wraps, gloves laced and cinched, mouthpiece fitted, and a gleaming satin robe draped across the shoulders for the walk to the ring. Every item has a ritual behind it: the tape, the resin on the canvas, the bucket in the corner, the towel the seconds hold in readiness. It's a ceremony as old as the sport itself, turning an ordinary person into someone who belongs under those lights.

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.
