The Cathedral: a free online word search

Cathedral word search you can play online right now, where stone soars into vaulted shadow and bells ring across the square.

About The Cathedral

A cathedral is more than a building, it is a mountain made by hand, its walls climbing toward light through tier upon tier of carved stone. Inside, the nave stretches long and hushed, the choir stalls wear centuries of polish, and high above, a ribbed vault fans out like a frozen wave. Step outside and the spire still anchors the skyline of cities that grew up in its shadow, the great bell in the tower marking hours the way it always has.

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.
