How to play Letter Search

  1. Find the target letter among visually similar distractors.
  2. Read the prompt carefully and choose an answer, or type into the answer field.
  3. After checking, read the explanation. Use “Next round” to continue.
  4. Complete ten rounds for a score out of 100. Restart creates a fresh session.

A worked example

Find G. Select its tile.

the answer is tile 16. Scan in rows instead of jumping randomly.

Look for the distinguishing letter stroke

The board uses similar forms such as O, Q, C, G and D. Read the target in the prompt before scanning the rows; a tail, opening or straight edge separates it from the repeated distractor. This shares the visual-search rule with the number and symbol variants.

Switch the same search task to similar-looking numbers

A useful way to practice

Read the current rule before reacting. Device latency, input method, distractions and familiarity can all change a result. For fairer comparisons, use the same device and avoid treating a score as a diagnosis.

What your result means

This is a recreational attention activity. Results describe performance on this particular task, with this device and these rules. They are not a clinical assessment, IQ score or promise of improvements in daily life. Your best result and recent sessions stay in this browser; no account is required.

Is Letter Search free?

Yes. You can play the full activity without a payment, download or account.

Can I use a keyboard?

Use Tab to focus buttons and Enter or Space to activate them. Answer fields accept normal typing. The maze also supports arrow keys. Timed tests will differ between touch, mouse and keyboard input.

Why did my result change?

Practice, a different generated puzzle, distractions and input timing all affect results. Compare several sessions rather than drawing a conclusion from one attempt.
