Recursive Function / Python 3.3, Computer Science Homework Help

The program I'm coding is a word search. Where the user will provide a puzzle and a word list, the program will give back if the word is in the puzzle with where in the puzzle(row and column). I will send you the code I managed, I need the function that looks for the words and it must be recursive. You can use a for loop to find the first letter in the puzzle, but you need to use if statements to search for the other letters. Once you take the question ill provide the needed files.NOTE: IT HAS TO BE A VERY SIMPLE CODE (to the point that it looks dumb), NO ADVANCE CODE, NO LONG CODE,  AND IF THE I COULDN'T GET THE IDEA I MIGHT ASK YOU TO CHANGE IT.Thanks
