A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: bell, hill, book, ball, egg, bee, zoo, moon, tree and apple. 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. Jellyfish, giraffe and rabbit take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with B. When you find a B, check it for bell, book, ball and bee.
- 3 words start with P. When you find a P, check it for puppy, pizza and puzzle.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: bell, hill, book, ball, egg, bee, zoo, moon, tree, apple, puppy, rabbit, carrot, kitten, pizza, puzzle, giraffe, dress, summer and jellyfish.

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.
Slip it into a restaurant bag for the wait before the pizza, or share it at a class party. Draw a loop around each pair of twin letters and make a tally of which pair shows up most.
