Over on the Guinness World Records page for World’s Largest Word Search, the current world record holder, Mel Crow, had this to say about our failed attempt.

“As happy as I am to hear that I retain the record, I have to tip my hat in admiration to you guys. I ordered a print of your puzzle and it is in fact amazing. The layout is very organized and your word count is impressive. Your puzzle is in fact much more fun, as mine is more challenging because any word can be found any where in the layout. I admit, this can be frustrating, intimidating, and overwhelming. I understand why Guinness has it’s specific guidelines, but feel sympathy for your efforts as well. With respect I sympathize with you. I will strive to conquer your word search myself and will have lots of fun, for a long time, doing it. Image may be NSFW.
