20 words are hidden in the letters, or ten short ones for a first try. Tap the first letter of a word, then its last letter.
The 20 words
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fifteen twenty thirty fifty hundred thousand zero
Number words from zero to thirteen, then fifteen, twenty, thirty, fifty, hundred and thousand. There are 20 words and 102 letters to find. The longest words are "thirteen" and "thousand", at 8 letters. No word on the list uses B, C, J, K, M, P and Q.
The words by length
| Length | How many | Words |
|---|---|---|
| 3 letters | 4 | one two six ten |
| 4 letters | 4 | four five nine zero |
| 5 letters | 4 | three seven eight fifty |
| 6 letters | 4 | eleven twelve twenty thirty |
| 7 letters | 2 | fifteen hundred |
| 8 letters | 2 | thirteen thousand |
A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, ten and zero. 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. Thirteen, thousand and fifteen take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 8 words start with T. When you find a T, check it for two, three, ten, twelve, thirteen, twenty, thirty and thousand.
- 4 words start with F. When you find an F, check it for four, five, fifteen and fifty.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: three, thirteen and fifteen.

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 the hundredth day of school or any quiet moment with a counting book nearby. Write the digits next to each word in the list, then read the words out from smallest to biggest.
