Previously, users needed to print the puzzles or project them onto a whiteboard to play, which limited interactivity and accessibility. Now, players can directly interact with the puzzle on their devices by selecting the cells for each word they find and clicking the ‘Found Word’ button.

This enhancement streamlines the gameplay experience, allowing for immediate feedback and making the puzzle accessible for both individual play and collaborative digital environments. The ability to play digitally adds tremendous value to the tool, transforming it into a dynamic and convenient platform for word search enthusiasts.
