A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: rose, daisy, tulip, lily, violet, iris, lilac, poppy, peony and lotus. None has more than 6 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. Sunflower, dandelion and daffodil take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with L. When you find an L, check it for lily, lilac, lavender and lotus.
- 3 words start with D. When you find a D, check it for daisy, daffodil and dandelion.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: daffodil, bluebell and poppy.
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 out in spring when the first blooms open, or tuck it in a card for a grandparent. Color each found word in the color of its flower, so rose turns red and bluebell turns blue.
