A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: movie, couch, pillow, screen, snack, film, watch, laugh, cozy and pizza. None has more than 6 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. Popcorn, blanket and cartoon take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 5 words start with C. When you find a C, check it for couch, cartoon, comedy, cozy and cuddle.
- 4 words start with P. When you find a P, check it for popcorn, pillow, pajamas and pizza.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: pillow, screen, cartoon, pizza and cuddle.
