A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: wings, cave, fire, flame, spark, tail, roar, egg, nest and soar. 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. Mountain, treasure and friendly take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 3 words start with F. When you find an F, check it for fire, flame and friendly.
- 3 words start with S. When you find an S, check it for scales, spark and soar.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: egg and green.
