A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: boat, home, snow, nose, rope, bone, cone, rose, goat and coat. 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. Rainbow, window and toast take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with R. When you find an R, check it for rope, rose, road and rainbow.
