General Science word search

How to play

Find every word in the list. Words run in a straight line in any of eight directions: across, down, diagonally, and backwards.

On a phone, press on the first letter of a word and drag to its last letter, then lift your finger. You can also tap the first letter and then tap the last one. With a mouse, click and drag the same way.

A found word turns green on the board and is struck through in the list. The timer starts with your first touch and stops when you find the last word. Tap Next puzzle for a fresh grid.

About General Science words

General science covers life science, chemistry, physics and earth and space. This word search mixes terms from all four, such as chromosome, covalent, friction and igneous. It is a light way to keep the vocabulary fresh before a science section on an aptitude test.

Want to test what you know? Try the General Science practice tests. Every grid is built by code, not by a person or a model. The page address holds a seed number, so the same address always gives the same puzzle, and a checker confirms that each word sits in the grid exactly once. The words come from the verified questions in our practice bank.
