Gotta catch 'em all in one grid
Pokémon has captivated fans for decades, and this puzzle gathers the classics. You'll be hunting for the all-stars — PIKACHU and CHARIZARD — starter favourites like BULBASAUR and SQUIRTLE, and the words every TRAINER knows, from the POKEBALL to the POKEDEX.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the team, no two Pokémon word searches are the same. One round you're chasing EEVEE through the diagonals; the next a backwards SNORLAX is sleeping in the corner.
A favourite across generations
From the original games to today, Pokémon spans every age group, which makes it a wonderfully broad theme. It's a guaranteed hit with kids and a hit of nostalgia for grown-up fans.
With no timer, it's a relaxed adventure. Spotting JIGGLYPUFF tucked diagonally into a corner is a small, super-effective win.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each name you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know who's still in the tall grass.
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 catch them all at once.
