Why Choose This Activity
Letter Hunt suits Memory Care and Sharp Mind when someone enjoys word puzzles at a calm pace. Words hide in a letter grid and cross off the list as they are found. There is no timer - scan for a first letter, then trace along the allowed directions.
Forgiving selection (wrong letters are ignored), Hint for a starting letter, and four difficulty tiers make hidden-word search approachable.
How It Plays
Find every word on the list hidden in the letter grid below. Drag through letters in a straight line or tap each letter in order. Found words stay coloured on the grid and cross off the list. Use Hint to highlight a starting letter, or Clear to wipe your current selection.

Facilitator Tips
- Start on Easy - across and down only, three words, small grid.

- Wrong letters during a selection are ignored - progress is kept.
- Tap the first selected letter again to clear, or the last letter to back up one step.
- Changing difficulty after Start restarts the puzzle.
