A modern word-search race
What is Word Hunt?
Word Hunt belongs to the family of word-search and letter-grid games that grew from newspaper puzzles and tabletop vocabulary games during the twentieth century.
Nadda turns that familiar idea into a simultaneous 1v1 race: both players trace connected letters on the same board, searching for longer words before the round ends.
- Letter-grid puzzle roots
- Shared real-time board
- Vocabulary meets speed
Quick guide
How to Play
Connect letters
Drag through adjacent letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. A tile cannot be reused in the same word.
Submit valid words
Release your pointer to submit. Longer words score more points, and special tiles can add a bonus.
Race the clock
Both players search the same board simultaneously for 60 seconds, so every second matters.
Win two rounds
The higher score wins the round. Be the first player to win two rounds to take the match.
