Scrutix is a word search game for Android, made for eyes that see less well up close and for fingers that are less precise. A word search is a grid of letters with a list of words hidden in it, across or down. You find each word and mark it.
In Scrutix, the letters are large and the contrast is strong. You choose the text size in the app, and the grid follows it. There is no timer, no score and nothing to lose: a grid ends when every word is found.
- Large print — four text sizes, up to twice the normal size, and a grid that stays readable. Large print
- No ghost words — the filler letters never spell a real word. No ghost words
- Tap or drag — drag across a word, or tap its first and last letter. Tap or drag
- One word at a time — the word you are looking for, in very large letters, and read aloud. One word at a time
There is no account and no subscription. Scrutix plays offline, and your grids stay on your phone. Ads pay for the game, and one purchase removes them.
Made to be read, and to be calm
Large print
Choose the text size in the app. The letters of the grid grow with it, and the grid stays readable.
No ghost words
Anything you can read in the grid that is not in the list is not a word. Scrutix checks it, letter by letter.
Tap or drag
Two ways to select a word, and no way to lose. A grid ends when every word is found.
One word at a time
The word you are looking for, alone and in very large letters under the grid. Your phone can read it aloud.
Today's grid
A new grid every day, ready at midnight. Play it when you like. There is no streak to keep.
Fifteen languages
English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Czech, Danish, Icelandic, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak and Swedish.
Privacy
The dictionaries are inside the app. Your grids stay on your phone. Only the ads and the purchase use the network.
