The world's softest supervillain
Despicable Me turned a supervillain into a loveable dad, and this puzzle gathers its world. You'll be finding GRU himself, his adopted daughters MARGO, EDITH and AGNES, and of course the yellow, goggle-wearing MINIONS — KEVIN, STUART and BOB.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the lair, no two Despicable Me word searches are the same. One round a backwards BANANA hides in a corner; the next a diagonal UNICORN bounces across the middle.
Gadgets, rivals and an army of yellow
The gadgets and villains are all here. Track down Gru's scientist Dr NEFARIO, agent LUCY, the rival VECTOR, and the gizmos that fill the LAIR — the FREEZE RAY and the SHRINK RAY. There's a stolen MOON, Gru's trademark GOGGLES and OVERALLS, and a HENCHMAN or two.
From the DESPICABLE schemes to the cutest 'it's so fluffy' UNICORN, this puzzle is packed with fun for fans of every age.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
Want a real challenge? Switch to Medium or Hard for a bigger grid with diagonals and reverse words. Stuck on one? Tap Hint for a nudge, or Solve to reveal the whole lair at once.
