Word Games for Kids

Games that make reading and spelling feel like play. Word Quest and Word Fishing are made for early readers: one has kids carry words to the pictures they name, the other has them catch letters to spell common sight words.

About these games

Older kids can try Word Search, with themed puzzles that hide words in every direction, or Word Guess, a friendly hangman-style game where the UFO creeps closer with every wrong letter.

They're a good way to sneak in a little practice after school or on a long drive.

Every game here is free and runs in the browser on phones, tablets, Chromebooks and computers — no download, no sign-up, no ads.
