The Field Goal: a free online word search

Field goal word search, where the snap count, the hold, and that three-point split through the uprights all wait on the grid.

About The Field Goal

A field goal is worth three points, a value it has had since 1909, when it dropped from four. A kicker's easiest tries come from inside twenty yards, the chip shots, and the hardest ones come at the far edge of his range, with the holder spotting the ball seven yards back and the laces turned away from the kicker's foot.

How to play

    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.
