It started with a question over Thanksgiving.
How many actual words are hiding in a 4×4 grid of letters? We could not stop wondering, so we built something to find out.
Word Hunt Solver is the answer. Fill in the grid, tap Find Words, and be amazed by what was in there the whole time. Sharpen up your Boggle skills, settle an argument, or just go down the same rabbit hole we did.
Fill it. Solve it. Explore it.
Everything you need to dig every last word out of a grid, and see exactly where it was.
Every word, the instant you ask
Type your letters into the grid and tap Find Words. Word Hunt Solver searches every path and lists everything it finds. That is 163 words in this one alone.
See exactly where a word lives
Tap any word in the list and its path lights up right on the grid, in order, from first letter to last. Searching for words that contain certain letters works the same way.
Three grid sizes to play with
Switch between 3×3, 4×4, and 5×5 grids depending on the puzzle in front of you. Bigger grid, more words to discover.
At home on iPhone and Mac
The same fast solver, built natively for each device. On Mac you get a roomy two-pane window, with the grid on the left and every word on the right.
