Frequently Asked Questions

The LA Times Word Search presents a grid of letters hiding a set of themed words. Words can be hidden horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — forwards or backwards. Your goal is to find and circle all the words before time runs out.

Words can run in any of 8 directions: left-to-right (East), right-to-left (West), top-to-bottom (South), bottom-to-top (North), and all four diagonal directions (NE, NW, SE, SW).

We fetch today's official puzzle from the LA Times and highlight every hidden word's position in the grid. Words are blurred by default — click any word in the list to reveal it highlighted in the grid.

Yes! Use the date picker at the top of the page to browse our full archive of past LA Times Word Search puzzles with complete answers.

Each daily LA Times Word Search has a unique theme shown in the title — for example "Language and vocabulary" or "Animals of the savanna". All hidden words relate to that theme.
