Aviation in one grid
Flight is one of humanity's greatest achievements, and this puzzle gathers the world of the aeroplane. You'll be hunting for the parts — the COCKPIT, the WINGS and the spinning PROPELLER — the moments of every flight, from TAKEOFF to LANDING, and the names that fill the skies, from BOEING to AIRBUS.
Because every new puzzle files a different flight plan, no two plane word searches are the same. One round you're tracking a GLIDER through the diagonals; the next a backwards FUSELAGE is hiding in the corner.
Sky-high fun for all ages
Planes capture the imagination of kids and aviation buffs alike. It's a great transport-topic activity and a fun way to learn the parts of an aircraft and the language of flight.
With no timer, it's a smooth flight. Spotting ALTITUDE tucked diagonally into a corner is a small, high-flying win.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's still on the radar.
Want a bigger challenge? Switch to Medium or Hard for a larger grid with diagonal and reverse words. Stuck on one? Tap Hint for a nudge, or Solve to land the whole list at once.
