Word search
Cross out every word — the letters left over spell one more.
A word search with one difference: there is no list beside the grid. Every word hidden in it has five letters and runs along a row, a column or a diagonal, about a third of them backwards. Every five-letter word you can make out, either way round, is one of them: the board tells you only how many there are. Drag across a word, or tap the letters at its two ends, and it is ringed.
When every word is crossed out, five letters are left over; read row by row, they spell the hidden word. One grid a day, the same for everybody, in the language you are reading the site in. No timer and no account needed: a grid left half-done waits for you until the day turns, at midnight UTC.
