Entry #8 in the Captivate Game and Puzzle Series – Word Search
Here is a pretty simple word search that has a secret message. Can you find it?
This puzzle features the following:
- Click the letters to highlight and un-highlight them in the case of an error.
- Click on words in the word list to cross them off once found.
- All the unused letters will spell out a message from left to right and top to bottom
I use the same two lines of JavaScript for all the puzzle squares and the word list. For those interested in how to make really short work of that – stay tuned for an explainer post on the process for this one.

Really cute idea, great job.
Nice game. The hidden message is hidden because it’s been talked about for over a year and half and still no cash in the bank!!! Maybe someday soon!
I had a blast in completing it… way to go Greg!
I’m very happy to see this project. There used to be a word search template within the Learning Interactions, but apparently, it was depreciated. I’d love to see how this was put together. I’m building an educational course as a student project in a teaching class and have been looking for a word search to add. When might you share the details?
Best,
Terri
Thanks, Terri.
I intend for the detailed write up to happen over my Thanksgiving break.
Love your work Greg! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see the project files and the instructions.
OK – updated project in place.

Charming project !…
😉

I just caught that the word COURSES in the word list should just be COURSE.
I will upload a fixed version.
