The language of apps and feeds
Social media has its own special words, and this puzzle gathers them. You'll be finding the POST people SHARE, the LIKES and COMMENT-s it gets, the FOLLOW button, the endless FEED you SCROLL through, and the HASHTAG that helps things go VIRAL.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Social Media word searches are the same. One round a backwards INFLUENCER hides in a corner; the next a diagonal NOTIFICATION appears across the middle.
Posting, sharing and going viral
From videos to messages, the words are here. You set up a PROFILE with a USERNAME, UPLOAD a VIDEO or a STORY, go LIVE, and add an EMOJI to a MESSAGE. A clever post might start TRENDING and turn its creator into an INFLUENCER, you get a NOTIFICATION every time something happens, and you can BLOCK anyone you don't want to hear from. It's all done through an APP on your phone.
It's a great fit for a technology or online-safety topic. Tracking down N-O-T-I-F-I-C-A-T-I-O-N turns spelling practice into a lesson about life online.
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.
