A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: dad, june, card, tie, hugs, grill, catch, hero, jokes and bike. 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. Fishing, grandpa and cookout take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with C. When you find a C, check it for card, catch, cookout and camping.
- 3 words start with F. When you find an F, check it for father, fishing and family.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: grill, tools and cookout.
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.
Bring it to the cookout or the campsite and solve it side by side with dad or grandpa. Draw a tie in the corner and fill it with stripes, one stripe for each word you and dad find.
