Why I Love Codeword Puzzles

A Quick Peek at Word Search History

Word searches—yep, some folks call them word find puzzles—are one of those timeless brain games where you scan a grid of letters, trying to spot hidden words tucked away in all directions.

Here’s a little backstory I think you’ll enjoy:

Word searches started popping up in American puzzle books and magazines back in the 1920s and 1930s. No one knows exactly who created the first one, but they really took off thanks to Dell puzzle magazines. (Remember those? Total classics!)

In the early days, these puzzles were super simple—just a basic list of words to find, no fancy themes or storylines. Over time, themed word searches came onto the scene and made things a whole lot more fun and interesting.

Fast forward a few decades, and word searches made the leap from paper to screen. With computers, apps, and online games becoming so popular, these puzzles reached way more people—and now they’re everywhere!

While their roots may stretch back to Victorian-era England, it was right here in the U.S. that they really gained traction. We may never know the name of the original creator, but I say hats off to those early puzzle lovers who started it all.
