VOLLEY

The Net: a free online word search

Tennis net word search, free to play with nothing to install or register. The cord, the tape, the let, all waiting.

About The Net

At the center of every tennis court hangs a net stretched taut between two posts, its white tape running across the top and its cord anchoring it close to the ground. A ball that grazes that tape on a serve is called a let, play stops, the server tries again, and the crowd exhales. The drop volley, the net cord winner, the ball that barely clears: the net is both obstacle and stage for some of the game's quietest drama.

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.
