Each level is a themed page from a naturalist's journal: Garden, Ocean, Birds, Bakery, Castle and dozens more. Swipe across a hidden word and it is inked in its own colour. Every word is hidden exactly once, and nothing interrupts you while you search.

That is the most-agreed complaint about the biggest word search game on Google Play. We read the low-star reviews and the same things kept coming up.
Ads in the middle of a puzzle. Sound-on videos that start while you are still searching.
Daily puzzles split in two. One daily page cut into halves, with an ad after each half.
Pop-ups to pay for no ads. An upsell every couple of puzzles.
Drag across a word along a row, a column or a diagonal. Your swipe snaps to straight lines, so it is easy to trace on a phone, and each word you find gets its own ink colour and is struck off the list.
Every page is generated so each word is hidden exactly once, with no stray copies in the filler letters. Start from either end; a wrong swipe simply fades away. No timer and no lives.
Early pages read left to right and top to bottom on an 8×8 grid. Later word search puzzles grow to 11×11 and hide words diagonally and backwards. Hints ring a word's first letter, and the first hint on every page is free.
Never during a puzzle, never a banner, and the Daily Quill comes in one piece. A short ad can appear between pages now and then. Videos for coins only play when you tap them. Nothing to buy.

Each level has a theme and a word list.
Along a row, column or diagonal.
Every word inked in its own colour.
The real app: swiping words forwards and backwards, a miss, a hint and a finished page.
Find each word from the list hidden in the letter grid. Words run in straight lines: across, down or diagonally, and on harder pages backwards too. Swipe from the first letter to the last to circle a word.
Yes. It's free to download and play, supported by ads. There's nothing to buy and no subscription.
None during a puzzle and no banners. A short ad can appear between pages, at most every third break and never within a couple of minutes of the last one. Videos for coins only play when you tap them.
No. Each page is generated so every word appears exactly once in the grid, so the one you circle is always the one that counts.
