A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: armor, horse, tower, moat, royal, flag, quest, brave, king and queen. 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. Trumpet, knight and castle take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 3 words start with B. When you find a B, check it for bridge, banner and brave.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: banner, queen and saddle.
