For as long as word searches have existed, the words have gone in straight lines. WordSearchTwist breaks that rule.
Every puzzle in this new series uses quirked words: words that bend mid-path instead of running straight through the grid. Three kinds of turns are in play:
- Bounce – a sharp 90° turn
- Kink – a subtle 45° angle
- Twist – a dramatic 135° fold-back on itself
Finding a quirked word means tracking a path that curves, not just scanning rows, columns, and diagonals. It's the same puzzle you know, with a twist (literally).
Three difficulty levels, out now
WordSearchTwist launches with three volumes, so there's an entry point whatever your puzzle experience:
- Easy – a gentle introduction to quirked words, ideal if this is your first twist
- Medium – more bends, bigger grids, less hand-holding
- Hard – for solvers who want the full twist experience.
Stuck on a quirky word? Every puzzle includes a tilde-based hint system to nudge you in the right direction without giving away the answer.
