A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: city, street, bus, taxi, park, bridge, store, tower, subway and hotel. None has more than 6 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. Crosswalk, apartment and building take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 5 words start with S. When you find an S, check it for street, store, sidewalk, subway and school.
- 3 words start with B. When you find a B, check it for building, bus and bridge.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: street, crosswalk and school.
Play it or print it
On the screen, tap the first letter of a word and then its last letter, and the word is crossed off the list. Easy hides words across and down, Medium adds corner to corner, and Hard adds backwards. Press Print for two pages, the puzzle and its answer key, and "New puzzle" for the same words in new places. The word search maker page explains how each grid is made and kept clean.
Use it before a trip downtown or after a walk around the block. Draw a skyline along the bottom of the page and name each building with a word from the list.
