Worchle

Worchle (word search plus Wordle) sets three grids a day, the same for every player: Easy at 5 by 5, Medium at 10 by 10 and Hard at 15 by 15. Each one opens once you finish the one before. The puzzles are numbered, and the site has been running for well over 900 days.

Each grid holds a set of ordinary words placed across, down or diagonally, forwards or backwards. One of them is the keyword. You circle a word by tapping its first and last letters, and each circle uses one of a small number of guesses (three on the Easy grid). The circled word's tiles then turn colours in the Wordle manner: green for a letter in the keyword's place, grey for one the keyword lacks. Circling TUCK on a day whose keyword ends in CK lights its last two letters green, which tells you which of the grid's other words to try next.

Two rules matter. A word fully inside a longer word does not count on its own, so circle the longer one. And words must be circled in their own direction: if a circle does not register, the letters may spell a different word the other way. When the round ends, the words you did not find are shown.

The page is plain and quick: a grid, a guess counter and a list of words still hidden, with stats, a streak and a share button. It has no ads and needs no account. The same site also runs Haystack, a daily one-word search, and themed word searches and a maths puzzle, Mathic.

It suits word search players who want each find to mean something, and Wordle players who like the colour clues but want to hunt for their guesses in a grid.
