A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: mail, stamp, paper, send, box, truck, route, label, sort and seal. 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. Envelope, postcard and greeting take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with S. When you find an S, check it for stamp, send, sort and seal.
- 3 words start with P. When you find a P, check it for postcard, package and paper.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: letter, address, carrier, office and greeting.
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.
It suits a pen pal project or the day you write thank you notes. Design your own stamp in the corner of the page, then send the sheet to a friend.
The same words on bingo cards and flash cards
The bingo card generator deals these words onto cards, each one a different mix, and the flash cards page prints them eight to a sheet.
