Hey, I will add tutorial:

1. Look at the Word List: You'll see a list of words to find — usually 10–12 words per puzzle.

2. Search in the Grid: Words can be hidden horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — and even backwards!

3. Highlight a Word: Click (or tap) and drag across the letters of a word. If it's correct, it will get highlighted and removed from the list.

4. Finish the Puzzle: Find all the words to complete the game!

Thank you. Do share your feedbacks!
Glad you liked it! The word lists are pulled from a fixed dictionary, but the grid and word placement are randomized each time. I’m thinking of adding themed categories next (animals, food, etc.) — could make it more fun!
Thanks! That means a lot. I wanted to keep it clean and distraction-free. A timer or leaderboard is definitely on my list — thinking of a daily challenge mode too. Would be fun to see how fast people can solve it.

Show HN: I made a Word Search game with the help of an AI assistant

I built this word search game with help from ChatGPT:https://wordsdescrambler.com/solver/games/wordsearch/I’m not a game dev, just curious. Asked AI how to generate grids, check directions, and make it mobile-friendly — and shipped it in a weekend.Built with HTML, CSS, JS, and Flask. Clean UI. No ads. Just a simple game.Would love your thoughts!

Hate to agree but it is intuitive. I had used similar analogy to explain.
