What is GridzyPals: Word Search?
GridzyPals is a multiplayer word-search game built around letter grids, daily challenges, and friend rankings. Players can compete live, trade turns asynchronously, or play solo. It is available on iPhone, iPad, and in web browsers.

I’d happily do these daily grids in pen; there’s a proper little joy in spotting words that hide in plain sight.

The 20-second sample doesn't show enough of the word list or scoring to prove whether the full daily boards are genuinely sharp.

I like that VS mode lets you play on different schedules and still tangles you into worldwide rankings — perfect for scattered friends.
How to play GridzyPals: Word Search
Find words by connecting neighboring letters in the grid, diagonals included, using each tile once per word. In Party mode, 2–8 players play live at the same time; in VS mode, players send a challenge and take turns on their own schedules. The full game also includes three fresh daily boards with Pals and Worldwide rankings.
Tips & strategy
- Scan in every direction, not just rows and columns—diagonal paths count.
- Start with short words to build momentum while you keep hunting for longer ones.
- Keep common prefixes and suffixes in mind when tracing letter paths.
- In daily challenges, try all three boards even if you begin solo to see how your scores compare.
- In VS games, use your own schedule—your move doesn't have to happen right away.
