The 20 words
house door window roof kitchen bedroom attic pantry porch stairs closet floor wall table chair sofa lamp rug chimney hallway
Rooms and things from around a home are listed, such as kitchen, attic, porch, stairs, sofa and lamp. There are 20 words and 105 letters to find. The longest words are "kitchen", "bedroom", "chimney" and "hallway", at 7 letters. No word on the list uses J, Q, V, X and Z.
The words by length
| Length | How many | Words |
|---|---|---|
| 3 letters | 1 | rug |
| 4 letters | 5 | door roof wall sofa lamp |
| 5 letters | 6 | house attic porch floor table chair |
| 6 letters | 4 | window pantry stairs closet |
| 7 letters | 4 | kitchen bedroom chimney hallway |
A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: house, door, roof, attic, porch, floor, wall, sofa, lamp and rug. 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. Kitchen, bedroom and chimney take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 3 words start with C. When you find a C, check it for closet, chair and chimney.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: door, roof, bedroom, attic, floor, wall and hallway.

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.
