A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: tree, leaf, bee, key, eat, feet, seed, bean, seal and team. None has more than 4 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. Sixteen, cheese and green 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 bee, bean and beach.
- 3 words start with S. When you find an S, check it for seed, seal and sixteen.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: tree, bee, feet, seed, green, queen, three, wheel, cheese and sixteen.
