The smartest sitcom around
The Big Bang Theory turned physics, comics and social awkwardness into one of TV's biggest hits, and this puzzle gathers the gang. You'll be finding roommates SHELDON and LEONARD, their friends HOWARD, RAJ, AMY and BERNADETTE, and the waitress-next-door PENNY.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the apartment, no two Big Bang Theory word searches are the same. One round a backwards BAZINGA hides in a corner; the next a diagonal SPOCK beams across the middle.
Geek culture and inside jokes
Half the fun is the references, and we've hidden plenty. Spot the surnames COOPER, HOFSTADTER and WOLOWITZ, comic-store owner STUART, the gang's beloved CALTECH and PHYSICS, and the famous SOFT KITTY lullaby. There's even a GEEK, a NERD and a healthy dose of SARCASM.
From the COMIC store to the APARTMENT stairwell, this puzzle is a love letter to the show that made being a nerd cool.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each name you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know who's left on the couch.
