Warming up

Hidden words are sneaky until you learn to ignore the spaces. Now that you know the trick, try again!

Word hunter

Good going. You found a fair few, and the rest will jump out on a second look.

Sharp reader

Very good. Few hidden words get past you.

Hidden-word master

Brilliant! You read between the letters like a pro.

Search for letter shapes as well as whole words

The drawings hide text within ordinary visual details, so a useful second pass looks for straight strokes, curves and repeated letter-like forms. Work through one area at a time instead of scanning the whole picture repeatedly. Timing can add a playful challenge, but familiarity with the drawing style may matter as much as speed.
