Find the Fox Rules


Do you think you’ve found the fox? Are you unsure how to play? This page will give you a full breakdown of the Find the Fox rules and instructions that were intended by the author. Of course, if you have found the fox through some creative way, feel free to count that as a personal victory. Just don’t expect anybody else to count it!

Rules / Instructions

  1. Normal word search rules apply. The word “FOX” can appear in any direction: horizontally, vertically or diagonally. It can be either backwards or forwards.
  2. The word “FOX” appears fully inside one page of the book, it does not cross multiple pages.
  3. The word does appear in a word search grid (it’s not a trick!). The front cover, back cover, inside instructions pages, the spine, etc, DO NOT COUNT!
  4. I promise you the word is in the book. The book is not one big prank (although I wish I’d though of that… that would’ve been great).

Clarifications / FAQ

Why did you make this book?

My wife and I like buying or making joke presents for each other. Once I had this idea in my head I just couldn’t shake it until I had it printed as a real book for her.

(P.S. No my wife has not found the fox yet.)

Are you evil / sadistic / do you wish suffering upon the world?

No, I just hope I can make the world a little bit weirder.
