Tips for finding Colors words

  • Find the three- and four-letter colors first — red, blue, pink, gold, cyan, teal, navy, and plum are short and slip between the longer entries.
  • Basic shades often sit near each other: red, blue, green, black, and white are worth scanning for as a group once you spot the first one.
  • The unusual shades — beige, coral, cyan, and teal — use rarer letters, so let a stray 'y' or 'c' guide you to the whole word.

How to play Colors Word Search

Check the color list, then look for each color name in the grid. Words can appear across, down, diagonal, or backward.
