Trace letters to find the hidden words
Throughline is a free daily word search with a theme. A grid of 48 letters hides a set of theme words, and together they use every letter exactly once. One of them, the key word, stretches from one side of the board to the other.
It varies by puzzle. The bar above the grid fills as you find them, so you can see roughly how far along you are.
No. They only earn hints. You finish when every theme word is found.
Non-theme words need at least 4 letters and must be in the game's word list. A word you've already counted won't count twice.
Yes. Past days open from the week strip on your results screen.
No. Throughline is free and runs in your browser. An account keeps your streak across devices and adds leaderboards.
