LexaPics Word Game - Print aNd Play version

Family playing LexaPics PnP

Hear it. Spot it. Shade it. Win it.
Word race with a picture twist.

Be the first to find the hidden theme and shout it!

Game Mode Introduction

If you love fast-paced, competitive word games, then LexaPics Game Mode is made for you!
Unlike classic LexaPics — where each player solves the puzzle at their own pace — this mode brings everyone into the action at once, as words are announced in real time by the game announcer.
Can you find and shade the correct word before anyone else?
Each word you catch reveals part of a hidden image — and gets you one step closer to guessing the mystery theme first!

Prefer the calm and creative version? Try the classic LexaPics experience — relaxing, artistic, and intuitive! -- Not enough players or none takes the announcer role to miss all the fun? Try the LexaPics web app experience where your mobile phone takes the announcer role!

The print & play version of LexaPics is designed for 3 or more participants and works perfectly in classrooms, family settings, or group events.

It is a fast-paced, word-search puzzle game that reveals a hidden image as you play. Each tile in the grid corresponds to a part of the final picture (a word-search puzzle) and each word you find completes the tile and provides you more visual clues about the final image — turning word-solving into a slow-burn artistic discovery.

Players/Roles:

  • 📣 Announcer (Facilitator / Coordinator)
    • Guides the game and announces one word and its tile at a time
    • Uses the provided tile-by-word list and theme preview
    • Ensures fair play (e.g., no premature shading)
    • Can follow a preset list or choose the word order manually
    • Keeps the score in the provided scoreBoard
  • 🧩 Players
    • Each player receives a printed gamesheet with a grid of word-search mini puzzles 3X3 or more
    • Listen carefully to the announcer and locate as fast as you can the word announced in the correct tile
    • Shade the word and start completing the image
    • Try to guess the hidden image theme — or collect the most words

This setup encourages observation, listening, fair competition, and word recognition — all while keeping the game engaging and fun!

Game Objective & Description

Your mission:

Each round, a new word and its tile (A1, B4...) are announced by the facilitator (or announcer). Players race to locate and shade it. Only the first player to do so scores the point.

Track progress using the LexaPics Scoreboard, dots-and-boxes style for easy score keeping, a line for each word found. Each completed box = 5 words.

The game ends when:

Each image is divided into a grid of tiles — for example 5×5, 4×4, or 4×6 — which represent 25, 16, or 24 mini word-search puzzles respectively, and a grid of 10X10 or 12X12 letters per mini puzzle, named A1, C2, letters for rows numbers for columns.

Each tile contains a small word-search puzzle where words can appear in the following three directions:

  • Horizontally (left to right)
  • Vertically (top to bottom)
  • Diagonally (top-left to bottom-right)

This is the default and easiest setup — perfect for beginners or younger players.

To increase the challenge, future versions may also include:

  • Diagonal (bottom-left to top-right)
  • Inverted words — placed right-to-left or bottom-to-top
  • More letters per grid

But for now, we’re keeping it simple with just the three basic directions! and start with a 3X3 puzzle with 10 letters per grid! :)
