The science of everything
Physics explains how the whole universe behaves, and this puzzle gathers its big ideas. You'll be finding the forces that shape the world — FORCE, GRAVITY, FRICTION and MAGNET — and the words that describe movement, from MOTION and SPEED to VELOCITY and MOMENTUM.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the lab, no two physics word searches are the same. One round a backwards WAVELENGTH hides in a corner; the next a diagonal PENDULUM swings across the middle.
Energy, matter and machines
Physics is full of powerful concepts, and they're here. There's ENERGY and the tiny ATOM and PARTICLE that make up matter, the MASS and DENSITY of objects, the PRESSURE and VOLTAGE that drive things, and the law of INERTIA that keeps them moving. We've hidden the simple machines too — the LEVER and PULLEY — plus NEWTON, who explained so much, and a hint of QUANTUM for the curious.
It's a great fit for a science topic on forces and energy. Tracking down W-A-V-E-L-E-N-G-T-H turns spelling practice into a physics lesson.
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.
