Word Quest is a free word search puzzle game by Marmot Studios. In this fun and challenging title, you must find and connect letters on a board to form words within a set amount of time to advance to the next level with a much more difficult set of words.

Word Quest is not only a game that you can play for fun, but it can also be used to expand your vocabulary and enhance your skills in English. It’s an app with educational purposes as well.

Hunt down hidden words

The goal of Word Quest is to look for words hidden among a grid of letters. Once you spot a word, you must connect the letters by swiping them. After finding all words, you’ll advance to the next level with a harder set than the previous one. Completed levels can also be replayed, scrambling the letters around again for you to find new words.

This app has a lot of color themes to choose from, so pick one that makes your gameplay enjoyable. If you want a challenge, you can choose additional game modes — such as Expert Mode, where no word hints are given; and Time attack, wherein you’ll have to find as many words before time runs out — although these modes are too challenging for casual folk and new players to the genre.

You are also free to create your own puzzles in this game, and you can tweak their settings to your liking, such as selecting what game mode the puzzle is in, as well as its grid size and the difficulty of words mixed in it. Further modifications can also be applied to up the stakes, like allowing reversed words in the set.

An app to test your vocabulary

To sum it up, Word Quest by Marmot Studios brings a lot of unique elements to the word search genre with the introduction of new game modes that greatly alter the classic gameplay by adding challenges and twists. It’s a puzzling game that will test your vocabulary knowledge in English, as well as your ability to work against the clock.
