Think you know your SELECT from your WHERE?
How about spotting PARTITION hiding backwards in a grid of letters while the clock is ticking?
If that sounds like your idea of fun, we have something new for you.
Meet SeeQLer — the new SQL word game on Oracle Dev Gym.
SeeQLer combines SQL knowledge with a classic word-search challenge. Your goal is simple: find the missing SQL keywords hidden in the grid, complete the SQL statement, and do it as quickly as you can.
No code to debug. No mysterious error messages. No missing semicolons.
Just you, SQL, and a grid full of letters.
How does SeeQLer work?
Each game gives you a SQL statement with several missing keywords.
???? holiday, ???? (celeb_date ) AS first_celeb ???? holidays ???? holiday ???? ‘Father%’ ???? BY holiday
Those keywords are hidden somewhere in the letter grid below the statement. Find a keyword, select it in the grid, and it will be revealed in the SQL statement.
Keep going until you’ve found them all.
Sounds easy?
Well, that depends on the game difficulty on that day.
Easy
A good place to start or perfect for a quick game on the go.
Keywords appear:
• Horizontally, from left to right
• Vertically, from top to bottom
Medium
Ready to make your SQL search a little more challenging?
Medium includes:
• Horizontally, from left to right
• Vertically, from top to bottom
• Diagonally, from left to right
You’ll need to look a little more carefully to find everything hiding in the grid.
Hard
This is where things get interesting.
In Hard mode, keywords can appear in all directions — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — and they may also be written in reverse.
You’ll need a sharp eye, solid SQL knowledge, and perhaps a little patience.
Know your SQL? Now prove you’re fast too.
Finding all the keywords is only part of the challenge.
SeeQLer also tracks how quickly you complete the puzzle.
Once you’ve found everything, you can also see top 10 fastest attempt results from the previous day and how many times each keyword was found.
Found them all in three minutes? Nice!

Not on the leader board? Back to the grid you go.
Challenge your friends, colleagues, teammates, or that one person who always seems to know the exact syntax without checking the documentation.
Then see who really has the sharpest SQL eye.
A new SQL challenge every day
SeeQLer gives you new keywords to find every day at 00:00 UTC, so there’s always another puzzle waiting for you.
Play once and move on with your day, or come back regularly and see whether you can improve your times.
It’s a quick way to refresh your SQL knowledge without sitting down for a full lesson or exercise.
SQL learning that fits in your pocket
SeeQLer is also designed to be mobile friendly, which makes it ideal for those little gaps in your day.
On the bus?
Waiting for the train?
Standing in a coffee queue?
Got five minutes before your next meeting?
Instead of scrolling through your phone for the hundredth time, open SeeQLer and give your SQL brain a quick workout.
Kill some time. Learn something. Have fun.
Whether you’re learning SQL, working with databases every day, or simply enjoy a good puzzle, SeeQLer gives you a quick and different way to put your knowledge to the test.
