hidden word
Word within words
A hidden word is a word concealed within other text, especially in word puzzles where the answer appears embedded across letter sequences: The hidden word "ant" appears in "pleasant".
The term also describes secret messages or codes embedded in writing, or words that puzzle solvers must discover through clues rather than direct definition.
