Today’s search

Help Olive find her ball.

Her orange-and-blue Chuckit ball has vanished again. Every word follows the scent—and Olive would very much like it back.

How today’s fetch works

No timer · Take your time

Connect letters

Make a word with touching tiles—across, down, or diagonal. Drag through them, or tap each letter and press Fetch It. Use each tile only once.

Longer words score more

3 letters +1 4 letters +2 5 letters +3 6 letters +5 7 letters +7 8+ letters +10+

Points are for fun; your score does not decide whether you win.

Find 8 words total

One of your eight must be today’s hidden ball word. It counts toward the eight and—because it is 6+ letters—also completes the long throw.

All three turn green = ball found!

You do not need every possible word. A ball-word clue appears after four finds.

The search guide

How to fetch—and win

  1. 1

    Follow the scent. Connect touching letters across, down, or diagonally. Drag and release, or tap letters and press Fetch It. A tile can only be used once.

  2. 2

    Fetch real words. Words need at least three letters and cannot be repeated. Huck handles inspection.

  3. 3

    Build your score. Three-letter words earn 1 point; then 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10+ points as words get longer. The score is just for fun.

  4. 4

    Find eight words total. One of those eight must be the hidden ball word. The ball word is always 6+ letters, so it also completes the long throw. You do not need any additional words.

There’s one shared puzzle each day, with no timer. Your progress and streak stay privately in this browser.
