Beyond the Grid

Solve classic word searches with a clean, distraction-free interface, or explore deeper layers hidden inside the grid. Whether you're relaxing with a puzzle or convinced there's more going on, Crypto Word Search gives you the tools to look closer — without getting in your way.

Powerful Tools, Simple Interface

Every feature includes a clear explanation. Use only what you need, ignore what you don't.

Multi-Direction Search

Search in all eight directions — horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and reverse. Find every word the grid has to offer.

Caesar & Atbash Ciphers

Shift every letter forward or backward, or mirror the alphabet entirely. Reveal words hidden behind classic substitution ciphers.

Pattern Masks

Isolate letters using checkerboards, borders, diagonals, and more. The grid transforms visually and searches adapt automatically.

Grid Transforms

Rotate, flip, and shift rows or columns. Some puzzles hide messages that only appear when the grid is rearranged.

Acrostics & Telestics

Extract first or last letters from rows and columns. Reveal hidden instructions or meta messages embedded in the grid structure.

Scan or Create

Import puzzles via the camera with OCR scanning, type them in manually, or paste from plain text and CSV.
