As we have said in the past, it's important to come up with fun and clever ways to keep
people on your site for as long as possible. Games are a natural fit, especially if they
are fast moving and challenging. Word Search is something
that everyone is familiar with and we recently came across a Java-based version that is
pretty, darn slick.
As you can see, the above puzzle loads fairly quickly given the size and complexity of
the functionality. Go ahead and play it. You can start the game by clicking on the New
Game button, and you can change the game with every click. To highlight a found word,
simply click and drag over the letters of the word. The puzzle will keep score and time
for you.
And yes, you can create your own word lists, and Word Search will generate the puzzles
on-the-fly. Try loading it on your web site and create word lists that relate to your
industry, products or services. Create brand awareness while your visitors relax and have
some fun.
Word Search can be found at Brainjar.com and was
developed by Mike Hall. We like it.
