Daily News Puzzle is a word search game with a twist: every word in the grid comes from today's trending news in Ghana. A new puzzle is published each day, giving you a fresh set of words to find and news stories to discover. The game is free to play and works on any device with a web browser.
Words are hidden inside a grid of letters. To select a word:
Words can run in any of eight directions:
When you correctly select a word, it will light up on the grid and get checked off the word list. If your selection does not match a word, the highlight will disappear and you can try again.
Below the grid, you will see a list of all the words you need to find. Each word is paired with a short context sentence that explains the news story behind it. Use these clues to help you locate words in the grid — if you know the word starts with a particular letter, scan the grid for that letter first.
Words you have already found will appear with a strikethrough and a checkmark. Your goal is to find every word on the list.
A timer starts counting as soon as you begin the puzzle. The faster you find all the words, the higher you rank on the daily leaderboard. Your completion time is displayed at the end of each puzzle alongside other players' times.
The leaderboard resets every day with the new puzzle. To appear on the leaderboard, choose a display name in your profile settings.
