Word search puzzles are puzzles made up of letters in which words are spelled horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You are given a list of words and a grid with letters on it. The object is to find the list of words that are hidden within the letters. Some word search puzzles do not have the list. You are given a topic and how many words there are, then you try to find words that are related to the topic.

Word search puzzles are often called word find puzzles. According to yahooligans: The first wordfind puzzle was created by Norman E. Gibat in 1968. He created it for Selenby Digest, in Norman, Oklahoma.  Evidently the word find puzzle was so popular he created more and the local teachers wanted reprints to use in their classrooms.  One teacher sent copies to her educator-friends at other schools across the country and national syndication soon followed.
