Ordjakten (Dagbladet)
Dagbladet's daily Norwegian word search: find all the words in the letter grid.
Every day: One dated Norwegian word search per day on Dagbladet's games portal (Finn alle ordene), the same for every reader, with earlier days in an archive. New puzzle: Once a day, dated by Norwegian calendar day.
Ordjakten is the daily word search on Dagbladet's Spill portal. Each dated puzzle hides ten or so Norwegian words in a 9x9 grid of letters, including Æ, Ø and Å, and you find them against a timer, with a hint button if you are stuck.
About Ordjakten (Dagbladet)
Ordjakten (the word hunt) is one of the daily games on Dagbladet's portal at dagbladet.no/spill, alongside Dagens kryssord and Minikryssord. The task is in the subtitle: finn alle ordene, find all the words.
Each day's puzzle is dated and the same for every reader. A 9x9 grid of letters, Norwegian ones included, hides a list of about ten words shown beside it, such as ANKERBØYE, GUTTEVALP and MUSEBOL. You mark each word in the grid; a timer and a counter track your progress, and a Hint button points you to a word when you are stuck. Earlier days are listed in the portal's archive.
It suits Norwegian readers and learners who want a relaxed daily puzzle, and it is a gentle way to meet long compound words.
How to play Ordjakten (Dagbladet)
- Open Ordjakten on Dagbladet's Spill portal and pick today's date.
- Read the word list next to the grid.
- Find each word in the letter grid and mark it from first to last letter.
- Find all the words, using Hint if needed, then try earlier days from the archive.
Tips
- Look for rare letters such as Ø, Æ, Å, W or Y first; they narrow down where a word can be.
- Long compound words are easier to spot by scanning for their first two letters together.
- Tick off short words last; they often turn up inside the lines you already scanned.
