A journey across a broken world
The Last of Us became one of TV's most gripping dramas, and this puzzle gathers its world. You'll be finding the central pair, grizzled SMUGGLER JOEL and immune teenager ELLIE, along with TESS, his brother TOMMY, and FIREFLIES leader MARLENE.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the wasteland, no two Last of Us word searches are the same. One round a backwards CLICKER lurks in a corner; the next a diagonal OUTBREAK spreads across the middle.
The infected and the survivors
The show's terror comes from the CORDYCEPS FUNGUS, and the words that go with it are all here. Watch for the INFECTED and the blind, shrieking CLICKER, the airborne SPORES, and the QUARANTINE zones. We've also hidden quieter moments — BILL and FRANK, young RILEY, and the safe town of JACKSON.
From the first day of the OUTBREAK to a desperate fight for SURVIVOR's hope, this puzzle captures the heart of a post-APOCALYPSE classic.
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.
