A few of the words

SILKS

IRONS
Stirrups are almost universally called 'irons' in the backstretch. Aluminum irons became standard in the 20th century, shaving precious grams from a rider's required riding weight.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
WEIGH

BLINKERS
Cup-shaped fabric or leather shields fitted to a horse's hood, blinkers narrow the animal's field of vision to keep focus forward and reduce distraction from a crowded field.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

The Jockey: a free online word search

Jockey word search, no sign-up, nothing to install. Silks in every color, a saddle under two pounds, a rider making weight before the bell.

About The Jockey

A jockey's world is built on precision and trust, every ounce weighed in before the race, every hand-width of rein calibrated to the horse beneath them. The silks they wear are registered to the owner's stable, each color combination as distinctive as a family crest, stretching back generations on the same oval of turf. From the moment the irons are set in the stirrups to the electric burst out of the gate, a jockey reads the field the way a sailor reads the wind, constant, instinctive, and always a half-second ahead.

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.
