Every colour of the rainbow in one grid
Colours are one of the very first things children learn, and this puzzle gathers them all. You'll be finding the primaries — RED, BLUE and YELLOW — the rest of the rainbow from GREEN to PURPLE, and a few fancier shades to stretch older players, like TURQUOISE and MAGENTA.
Because every new puzzle repaints the palette, no two colours word searches are the same. One round you're finding INDIGO in the diagonals; the next a backwards MAROON is hiding in the corner.
A bright early-years favourite
Learning colours is a cornerstone of early education, and a word search makes it fun. Easy mode keeps things simple for little ones, while the longer shades give older children a satisfying challenge.
With no timer, it's a calm, cheerful activity. Spotting TURQUOISE tucked diagonally into a corner is a small, colourful win.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each colour you find locks in with its own highlight and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
