How it works
Three steps and your whole team is in.
-
Create a room
Pick a theme, the language of the words and the round length (2, 3 or 5 minutes), then share the link or the QR code with your team.
-
Find the words
Drag across the letters in any of the 8 directions. Everyone sees the same board in real time.
-
Be the first
The first person to find a word scores its letters. Most points when the clock stops wins, then hit Rematch for a new board.

Why it works for a work break
A word search needs no explanation, so nobody is left out while the rules are being read. New teammates, people who have never tried one and the office champion all start from the same board at the same second.
Because every word can only be scored once, the round stays lively from the first find to the last. It is competitive enough to wake everyone up and short enough to fit between two meetings.
It also suits remote and hybrid teams: paste the room link in your chat or show the QR code on a shared screen, and each person joins from their own device.
Ideas for your team
- Open the weekly meeting with one round as an icebreaker
- Go best of three using Rematch
- Let last round's winner choose the next theme
- Switch the word language to practice English or Spanish together
