A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: march, windy, kite, green, lucky, lion, lamb, mud, melt and thaw. 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. Basketball, shamrock and rainbow take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 3 words start with L. When you find an L, check it for lucky, lion and lamb.
- 3 words start with M. When you find an M, check it for march, mud and melt.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: green, puddle, breeze and basketball.
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.
Try it on a blustery day when the kites are out, or around the middle of the month when everyone wears green. Sort the weather words into two columns, lion for wild days and lamb for gentle ones.
