• There is one "right" word to be found. The hint is significant.
• Start with one of the letters on the gray background.
• Move either horizontally or vertically to the next letter.
• You may not move diagonally.
• You may not use a square more than once.
• The "non-starter" letter on gray background may be used within the word.

In 2019, I began sharing a kind of Wordsearch puzzle which I had only seen once elsewhere. If you have any information about its origins or a full explanation of the rules, I'd love to hear from you.

The puzzles are published here as an archive after their weekly release (Sundays) into the fediverse through the account: https://mastodon.art/@Algot. To get fediverse-connected yourself, go to https://joinmastodon.org/ where you can choose from a broad set of independent, but linked, servers. An account on any server can connect with an account on any other federated server, in addition to my local one. No lock-in. Great people, working to support each other is the federated social network way. Support your instance admin and the fine moderators who help keep hate speech at bay.

For puzzles at the beginning of 2024 through August, clicking the Clue button will show you the puzzle in a popup window.
(Close the popup window when you solve or give up on the puzzle.)

Clicking the Answer button will show you a popup window the puzzle with a line showing how it is solved.
