What happens
A short task with a specific constraint.
Word Hunt is a Boggle-style word game where you have 60 seconds to find as many valid English words as possible in a grid of letters. Trace adjacent letters by dragging, or type words directly. Both count.
How to play
A 4×4 or 5×5 letter grid appears. Form words by connecting adjacent letters (including diagonals). Each letter cell can only be used once per word. Submit by lifting your finger after tracing, or type the word and hit Add. Words score by length squared. Longer words are worth exponentially more.
What this can tell you
One clue, with a clear boundary
You scan a constrained letter field and submit words while the available time decreases.
Repeated play may show how broadly and quickly you search a language space while preserving valid answers.
The result cannot establish your total vocabulary, intelligence, or personality category.
This standalone run does not currently enter Persona. Its word-search result remains separate from registered Persona evidence.

Test whether the clue travels.
A complementary method is more useful than replaying the same interpretation in different words.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a valid word?
Any English word of 3+ letters (or 4+ on harder grids) that exists in our dictionary and follows a valid path through adjacent cells. Proper nouns, abbreviations, and hyphenated words are excluded.
Can I type instead of dragging?
Yes, there is a text input below the grid. Type any word and hit Add. The game automatically finds a valid path on the grid for your word, or tells you if none exists.
Is there a penalty for wrong words?
Yes, submitting non-dictionary words or invalid paths costs 5 points each. Duplicates and too-short words are filtered without penalty.
