yourDictionary.com is happy to bring to you a yet another kind of word-puzzle to help you develop your mental acumen while learning about words and the world. The puzzles on this page develop and test your ability to detect the obscure and cryptic. Simply try to find the words listed on the left side of the puzzle table in the jungle of letters on the right. You may peek by clicking the words on the left so that they are displayed on the right, but peeks must be subtracted from your score.

Push the "Help" button for further instructions on how to play the game. You can repeat these puzzles as many times as you wish: every time you return to this page, new jungles are created from the same word lists. (Hint: look for a word spelled forwards or backwards by first finding two of the letters in it.) Click here for regular, encrypted, fill-in, foreign language, or Word of the Day puzzles.
