A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: plane, wing, pilot, jet, sky, cloud, seat, tail, gate and cabin. None has more than 5 letters. On a phone the full puzzle takes twelve of the 20, so the letters stay big enough to tap.
Hints for this puzzle
- Start with the longest words. Propeller, airport and takeoff take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 3 words start with P. When you find a P, check it for plane, pilot and propeller.
- 3 words start with T. When you find a T, check it for takeoff, ticket and tail.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: takeoff, luggage and propeller.
