The 20 words

Things from a day at the park, including slide, swing, bench and pond, and bigger ones like fountain, sandbox and squirrel. There are 20 words and 115 letters to find. The longest word is "playground", at 10 letters. No word on the list uses J, M, V and Z.

A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: slide, swing, bench, tree, grass, path, pond, kite, ball and bike. 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. Playground, fountain and squirrel take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 5 words start with B. When you find a B, check it for bench, ball, bike, blanket and bubbles.
- 5 words start with S. When you find an S, check it for slide, swing, sandbox, seesaw and squirrel.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: tree, grass, ball, seesaw, squirrel and bubbles.
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.
Take it along with the picnic blanket or save it for a day when the park is too wet. Check off each word you can also spot in a real park, and draw the ones you could not find outside.
