Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Use your favorite search engine to find web-based word games. Use search terms like "play online" and "web games" with other keywords to find many word games that can be played in your web browser.

  2. Step 2

    Download games to play on your computer. Use your favorite search engine to find downloadable games by using the terms "download" and "freeware" with your keywords. The word freeware refers to the licensing of the game; it signifies that it's free to download it onto your computer and grants you unlimited access to its features.

  3. Step 3

    Find games that you can print and play, like crosswords and word searches. You can do this by entering terms like "print" and "printable," along with the type of game you are looking for, into your favorite search engine.

  4. Step 4

    Look online for other word game ideas, such as games that can be played in groups and games that you can play alone or with friends with just a piece of paper and pencil. Use your favorite search engine to look for ideas by using terms like "group games" and "word game ideas."
