The perfect ingredient for your daily routine to help maintain a healthy mind
Each puzzle includes a four-by-four grid of letters that spell words relating to a theme. Topics range from general knowledge to popular culture, geography to the natural world, food and drink to art and literature.
The puzzles are always written and designed by humans, for humans, not AI-generated, and are the brainchild of two childhood friends and obsessive gamers, Samuel and Mark.
The magic of Word Salad is that the answers are right there in front of you, obvious once you’ve found them, but gloriously frustrating when you haven’t.
Now available for the first time as a book, Word Salad is perfect for travelling, mindfulness or just when you need a screen break. Plus, there are clues in each puzzle to help you solve bonus puzzles, offering an even greater challenge than the online version.
Can you find the hidden words?
