Over the past 3 weeks we have been enjoying watching the heat maps fill in as people all around the world have been having fun playing our giant word search.
Last week something happened which took us a little bit by surprise – someone completed the puzzle! This mammoth task which we had estimated would take approximately 100 hours was completed by one dedicated user in just 55 hours over the course of 11 days! Wow! Image may be NSFW.

Cheryl, who has been a fan of our games for some time now, was determined to be the first to complete the puzzle and stormed ahead of everyone, speeding through the words Image may be NSFW.

I asked her some questions about the experience of playing the largest word search ever made!
What did you think of the game?
I was in word search heaven. Lol. I loved the sheer challenge of finding 10,000+ words. The different themes of each grid kept it more manageable. Finishing a section was a small victory. I learned some new words, too.
How did you go about tackling the puzzle?
I pretty much just scrolled around the screen looking for words. If I found a word in the next area I would move over and start working there. I really had no plan.
When and where did you play?
I would stretch out on the couch and play until I couldn’t see straight anymore. All of those letters…..
What compelled you to complete it?
The sheer magnitude of the word search. I am a very competitive person and I wanted to be one of the first to finish.
Would you like to complete more large puzzles?
I would love another huge puzzle. Maybe even bigger?
What game are you going to play now?
I’m not sure. I may just take a break and catch up on my reading. A little Dresden Files or perhaps re-read the Matched trilogy. I’m seriously thinking about creating my own word lists for a new word search (hint, hint). More along subjects I’m more familiar with, Doctor Who, Torchwood, who knows?
Since Cheryl completed Word Search 10K, we’ve had another 9 players also manage to finish! The latest this morning from Canada who spent 93 hours on the puzzle! Someone has even managed the whole puzzle in just 38 hours! We’re amazed to see people spending so much time solving the word search and clearly having a lot of fun Image may be NSFW.
