U.S. Civics 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 U.S. Civics words

The civics test asks about how the United States government works and how its history shaped it. This word search hides words from those study questions, such as Congress, amendment, judicial and emancipation. After each find, try to say in one line why the word matters.

Want to test what you know? Try the U.S. Civics 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.
