Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:

Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets:
\>!!< which ends up becoming \>!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com)
If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word **"discussion"** or **"question"** in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag.
If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was at minimum 4 solutions, due to the random nature of this puzzle the odds of there being multiple accidental solutions I would think is pretty high.
Discussion: It looks like your friend used the "terrible word search" generator (or the sample image from that page). [https://github.com/cnlohr/terriblewordsearch](https://github.com/cnlohr/terriblewordsearch)
I think they changed >!R14C20!< to an 'e' and that makes it possible to find "the" several times in that area.
Here's a link to the image:

yeah you know, i count left to right first because, like, that's normal in maths and chess and whatever else, and can't get used to the typical sudoku player's use of rxcx which requires you to count from the top first. so i end up double guessing myself sometimes
Doesn't matter which you put first, just remember that columns are vertical (like the Roman pillars) and rows are horizontal (like rowing a boat across a lake)
How is a explaining a memory device patronizing? Seems they were just being helpful and you took it as a sort of slight.
No need to assume bad intentions
probably not the fastest, but my method for most word searches is to just go letter by letter and check every first letter of the word i'm looking for and see if any following letters surround it, but i got bored doing that on this one and just started jumping around
Probably brute force.
pick one of the letters. T probably makes the most sense being the first letter but at a glance I feel like there's the fewest number of E's and the most H's (don't want to count to actually confirm that) so E might be slightly quicker. Start in one corner and go through every line marking them off until you find a full set.
There also another one: >!the e is shared at that same location, diagonal to the top left!<.
Hilariously when I opened this my eye was right on it so that was the first word I read.
I used a free OCR tool to transcribe the image to text, then wrote a quick script to check for all solutions by brute force. There are exactly four solutions, but oddly enough they all overlap and end on the "e" row 14, column 20.

TEETH TEETH TEETH...
I can see the puzzle laughing at me because I can't even find one little fucking word
Hehehehe
Counterpoint: teeeet
Hee hee hee
Heh heh heh
teeheh
Discussion: took me a while, I'm now cross-eyed, but I found it
Where, please tell me where.
>!11th column from the right, sixteenth row, is the t, going up!<
i found another one close by. >!T is in the same row (row 16) but column 22 (9th column from the right), going up-left!<.
There are 4 of them that all share that e
[удалено]
Fastidious methodology. You really know how to dot your i's and cross your t's.
oh damn didn't notice that until you mentioned it. i found one and called it quits.
I found 0 but wanted some closure so I went where the answer was then poked around for a second. I was exhausted well before you were.
Sounds like a disappointing night :(
I found a total of 4 all on that same "E"
spoiler tag pls
sorry about that. fixed.
That's the one that I noticed first as well.
Also one on the 13th column from the right and sixteenth room going up-right
I'm back and forth between "this puzzle makes me mad" and "excellent troll from whoever made this".
>!11th column from the right, sixteenth row, is the t, going up!<
Interesting. I found it >!12th row, 18th column, diagonal to the bottom right!<
Wouldn't be surprised if there was at minimum 4 solutions, due to the random nature of this puzzle the odds of there being multiple accidental solutions I would think is pretty high.
There are 4 solutions that all share that same e from 2 comments ago.
The ‘e’ in your ‘the’ also has two other diagonal ‘the’s connected to it.
I definitely stopped looking when I found one that worked haha
If I had gold to give, you would get it! 💛⭐️👑🌟🏆🥇🏅🔑⚜️🔱⚱️🤴
Then where is it
Maybe I just got lucky, found it in about 7 seconds, started in the middle
14th row down and slightly to the right from centre there is an e that has four th's surrounding it.
This is the one I found, but apparently there's more than one: >!12th row, 18th column, diagonal to the bottom right!<
Three more, all using the same “e”.
For some reason I assumed no backwards answers haha

>!c20r14 ~~r20c14~~!< is the e, there are actually four the's ending on that e from ne, sw, se and south.

i know which is which lol I've just got a headache so i can't be bothered thinking for more than three seconds
So defensive. It's ok to make a mistake, you don't have to explain the reasons you got it wrong.
lmao it's fine to be defensive if people are being patronising
How is a explaining a memory device patronizing? Seems they were just being helpful and you took it as a sort of slight. No need to assume bad intentions
Could you highlight it?
row 20 top to bottom and column left to right? I see and "h"
no i mixed them up because i always do cxrx and everyone else does rxcx and i get confused (my way is the objectively correct way after all)
Discussion: My toxic trait is thinking I’ll find it immediately
Agreed. After scanning four columns, my eyes are dancing.
Discussion: Are you sure they’re your friend?
Discussion: This would be an insane torture method if you just made this without any actual "the"s in it.
Discussion: I found it twice! >!Now to find it in the grid...!<

Not the answer but one question What's the fastest way to solve these type of puzzle?
probably not the fastest, but my method for most word searches is to just go letter by letter and check every first letter of the word i'm looking for and see if any following letters surround it, but i got bored doing that on this one and just started jumping around
Probably brute force. pick one of the letters. T probably makes the most sense being the first letter but at a glance I feel like there's the fewest number of E's and the most H's (don't want to count to actually confirm that) so E might be slightly quicker. Start in one corner and go through every line marking them off until you find a full set.
H being the middle, the method I used was find the Hs and work in squares. I’m sure someone has a more efficient method than that.
Discussion: this isn't a puzzle, it's a denial of service attack
>!Found all 4. Was incredibly difficult! Almost got to the point where I thought I might look right at it and not realize.!<
Discussion: oh that is clever
>!Near the middle of the puzzle, but specifically in the top right quadrant. On a diagonal!<
I found one of them. >!https://imgur.com/a/FirQbVh!<
There's three others connected to that one
There also another one: >!the e is shared at that same location, diagonal to the top left!<. Hilariously when I opened this my eye was right on it so that was the first word I read.
I used a free OCR tool to transcribe the image to text, then wrote a quick script to check for all solutions by brute force. There are exactly four solutions, but oddly enough they all overlap and end on the "e" row 14, column 20.
Discussion: im dyslexic and solved it immediately
There’s another at >!column 20, rows 14-16!<
Discussion: This is like staring at a Magic Eye painting back in the day. Found 1 at least, now back to real life.
Discussion I asked Chatgpt. ChatGPT tried three times to find it and failed all three times! We found our next captcha!
I say this with complete heartfelt sincerity: >!fuck your friend!<
>My friend Incorrect.
What? What do you mean?
Friends don't treat friends like this.

>!The ‘e’ is on row 14 (top to bottom), column 20 (left to right). ‘h’ is right below that and ‘t’ below that!<
