WordSearch

WordSearch

WordSearch is a game in which your task is to find words hidden in an otherwise random grid of letters. If a bilingual word list is provided, the list of words to find will be in one language, the words to be found in the other.

WordSearch contains a built-in word list which it uses by default. If a file named WordSearchList.txt is found in the same folder, it will read the word list from that file instead. You can also read a word list from a file of your choice by clicking on the Word List button.

The program is written in Tcl/Tk. If you have Tcl/Tk installed on your system, you can run the bare program. Since most people do not, executables which combine WordSearch with a Tcl interpreter and the necessary library files are provided.

Explanation of the program.

The original program was written by Keith Vetter. I (Bill Poser) have modified it to read word lists from files and to use bilingual word lists.
