A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: sunday, monday, tuesday, friday, today, weekend, weekday, night, early and late. None has more than 7 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. Wednesday, yesterday and afternoon take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with T. When you find a T, check it for tuesday, thursday, today and tomorrow.
- 3 words start with S. When you find an S, check it for sunday, saturday and sunrise.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: tomorrow, weekend, weekday and afternoon.
