Word Wend

Word Wend mixes picture clues with a winding letter grid, so children have to know a word's spelling before they can find it. Following letters that turn corners trains careful scanning, and it suits readers in Class 1–5 who can sound out simple words and are ready for a little more challenge.

  • Spelling from pictures
  • Visual scanning
  • Letter-by-letter checking

How to play

Every picture below the grid is a hidden word. Each word bends through the grid like a snake. Tap the letter with a ring around it, then keep tapping the next letter next to it until the word is done.

For example: You see a cat picture. Find the ringed C, tap it, then tap the A next to it, then the T next to that: the word turns green and you have found it.
