What is word search?
Word Search is a grid-based word game filled with letters where the players must find certain words hidden in various directions - horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and even backward. The PuzzleMe platform allows you to embed a diverse variety of multimedia clues to make the game an exciting experience for your players.
The top action bar above the puzzle displays the score as well as options to assist your players with the gameplay.
Only words discovered without using hints or reveals are counted towards the player's score.
Text-based clues
By default, the word search entries are listed as text in the clue panel next to the word search grid. As the player of your game keeps finding each word in the grid, the word list is updated to reflect that.
Multimedia clues
Word search clues can be customized with the use of multimedia: image, audio or video. Mixed with text clues, you can use multimedia clues to enhance the gameplay experience for your players.
The PuzzleMe platform allows you to use your media in several places. Some examples include using a puzzle backdrop image, images or audio inside crossword clues, or images for a Picdoku game.
