Simple to learn, rewarding to master

IslamicWordQuest is a word search with a purpose: every word you find teaches you something.

Steps

  1. Choose a stage and a path

    Pick Explorer, Seeker or Scholar, then a learning path such as Prophets or Surahs of the Qur'an.

  2. Find the hidden words

    Drag across the letters in a straight line, or tap the first letter and then the last. On a keyboard, move with the arrow keys and press Enter or Space on the first and last letter.

  3. Learn what it means

    Each word you find lights up in gold and its meaning card opens, with the Arabic spelling and the meaning. The game waits until you press Continue.

  4. Keep it in your Journal

    Every word you learn is saved to your Journal, where you can read and listen to it again. Finishing puzzles earns rewards.

Words and Clue Mode

Two ways to play every puzzle

Words shows the list of words to find. It's the best way to start.

Clues shows each word's meaning instead, with the answer hidden. It's a real test of what you have learned. Names written in several parts, and names without their article (such as Imran in Aal-Imran), are hidden too.

After you use clues in a level, switching back to Words won't reveal the unsolved answers.

Clue

“Five daily prayers at their set times.”

Everyday Islam · Explorer. Find the word this clue describes.

Questions

What if I trace the wrong letters?
Nothing bad happens. You'll see a gentle "try again" and can keep going. There are no penalties and no timers.
Can words go backwards?
In Scholar, yes. Words can run in all eight directions. Explorer keeps words across and down, and Seeker adds diagonals.
What does Clue Mode do?
Clue Mode hides the word list and shows each word's meaning instead, with the answer blanked out. Once you use clues in a level, the word list stays hidden for that level, so the answers are never given away.
Do I lose my place if I close the page?
No. Your unfinished puzzle is saved after every word, and the Resume button takes you back to exactly the same board.
