A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: turkey, family, feast, pie, gravy, potato, table, share, bread and corn. 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. Cranberry, november and thankful take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with G. When you find a G, check it for gravy, grateful, gather and grandma.
- 3 words start with F. When you find an F, check it for family, feast and football.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: cranberry, dinner and football.
