A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: fairy, wings, wand, dust, tiny, magic, glow, petal, wish and pixie. 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. Mushroom, sparkle and flutter take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with F. When you find an F, check it for fairy, flower, flutter and forest.
- 3 words start with M. When you find an M, check it for magic, mushroom and meadow.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: flutter, mushroom and tooth.

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.
Set it out the morning after the tooth fairy visits or at a fairy garden party. Sort the found words into things a fairy carries and places a fairy lives, then draw a tiny door.
