What is a Hidden Word Puzzle?

Hidden Word Puzzles are puzzles made up of a grid of circles connected by lines. You must find and mark the one place where the specified hidden word in the puzzle by tracing out its path along the lines. A circle may only be used one time.

Hidden Word Puzzles are a fun twist on traditional word searches. But, instead of looking for a lot of words or phrases, there is only a single word or phrase to find a single time.

These puzzles are sometimes known as spider web puzzles. The hidden word or phrase is only hidden in the puzzle ONE TIME.
