What Makes Astraware Wordsearch Stand Out
Astraware Wordsearch is a quick and easy word game with lots of free puzzles for you to play – find all the words hidden in the puzzle! Play against the clock or take your time and just enjoy finding them all!
You get free unlimited access to play four new Daily Wordsearch puzzles each day, there's also a new Weekender puzzle available each Friday!
There are 60 built-in and unlocked puzzles with a range of categories, so you can play offline and have fun right away. With over 20 categories, and more than 100 different word lists, there's lots of variety as you play the free puzzles each day – and perhaps learn something new too.
Many of the puzzles have a different theme, so you might see cute paw-prints on the cat breeds wordsearch, a cascade of leaves on the nature puzzles, a sparkle of stars on the space theme, and much more!
Astraware Wordsearch has helpful hints – tap to sparkle the start of a word to give you somewhere to look!), and our popular hold-and-highlight so that you can hold a word to see the first letter lit up throughout the grid, or hold a letter to highlight that letter everywhere!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive enjoyed this game but have still yet to find the perfect word search game. The closest was when we played a game that had stats for each puzzle and each time was randomly generated. But we love the daily puzzles and the weekly puzzle. Not as many categories either. Would love to see more categories that match up with other word search puzzles. We dont mind paying for the extra packs but would love to see them randomly generated and you can keep playing them with a difference experience instead of them disappearing completely after you finish them. We loved being able to see how you stack up against others through the daily and weekender which you dont see in other word search games. Could be a 5 with more categories alone but also would love more stats to see how you do in each puzzle or each category. But just a couple suggestions.
These people always have good solid games.
We've been playing this game for several years. We still enjoy it on a daily basis. Some repetition of puzzles but nothing that detracts from game.
We absolutely enjoy this game! Lots of different subjects to play & choose from. Unfortunately, we dont enjoy the Stamps issue. Its rather annoying & time consuming, when Im trying to earn more stamps, but the survey system keeps kicking us out for not qualifying. Whats the point of the prequalifier, if we have to spend another few minutes on the actual survey, just to be kicked out anyway? There has to be a better way. But the game itself is fun & we play it everyday, sometimes several times a day.
We look forward the daily puzzles.
We just updated our review under tbnfl but lost it and can't change that review, but never mind here it is again. BEST APP out there for WordSearch! We've tried several and sent them to bin box. These guys keep getting better and better, they've added new features that lets you get rid of Ads by stocking up watching the ads or completely "short" surveys….where you receive from 10 stamps for quickie ad to 50++ for quick survey. Do it all at once, save them (we now have over 150), and you can use them for daily games to skip ads or play 'endless' puzzles….a new category! Daily's are 5 stamps each, & other category's from 5-10. If you need help, email them inside game and they get back to you asap and we mean quick, personally and with answers you seek! No better WordSearch game out there. Try it and if you like this kind of game you can't go wrong. BTW, people who complain the words show up in different puzzles may be partially right, but there are so many to choose from you can go to a different category, especially with the new stamp feature…by the time we see a word we've seen before either we don't remember where it was or more usually tho the same word it is not in the same place…the entire puzzle is different so 1 word may repeat in a puzzle but the puzzle itself ISN'T repeated. Haven't found single complete repeat in over 3 years.
App works but following recent update it now plays ads fooling each puzzle, even though we purchased it hoping to avoid these types of interruptions. Usually ads only appear on free copies but disappear once purchased.
This game is great. We love word search puzzles. These puzzles are relaxing and entertaining.
We've tried lots of word find apps to find just the right one. This is the best.
Love it just wish you didn't have to pay for all packages plus we paid for all packages and their all the same thing we sure would like to have our 4$ back it would be different if all subjects weren't the same thing but they are please refund our money if at all possible.
We enjoy it and like the daily timed puzzles.
We really live this game! We wish there were more just one per day available.
Lots of fun and keeps those mental connections working. Great that we don't have to try to find a pencil. ;-).
This is an enjoyable game for adults and a great game for the whole family.
Fun game to play. The only thing we have noticed is that occasionally words are spelled incorrectly in the puzzle. An example is dog breeds. Beagle was spelled beagel. Stupid little mistakes like that, otherwise good game.
Enjoy the nice mix of words. The numbers of words allow you to play on a break.
At first we really liked this app. Now it just pisses us off. We bought the package where every category has 50 puzzles and every category just repeats the same puzzles and words. Occasionally there's a different word here and there, but the rest if the words are the same and also in the same spot. We're not looking for the words anymore cuz we know where they already are. For example, in the history category where we've already played 35 out if the 50 games, we'd guess at least 90% of them are Greeks and Romans. There's a lot more to history than just Greeks and Romans! All the categories are like that too.
It's a fun game and thoughtless to operate.
Really enjoy this app. Words are challenging & some we've never heard of. Good choices of categories available that keep it interesting.
This is the best word search game we have found in the iTunes store. It looks like a regular word search that you get in the magazine section. We have found a lot of lame ones until we found this one. The upgrade is even worth it. We recommend the vacation upgrade. It comes with a ton of games and they don't repeat themselves. You will love it.
Love this game, very relaxing.
Love this game! It's the perfect thing to do when you are required to attend a boring family reunion–with nothing else to do.
One if the best we've played in a long time. We like it cause everything is right there no flipping back & forth to see the word list. Good game!!! We hope to see more of these games.
Very good puzzles! Not too hard, not too easy.
This is a great game for FREE you do get a good selection of puzzles for free plus the daily one.
A good way to pass the time when you just want to relax.
