A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: crown, gown, tiara, queen, king, royal, ball, dress, jewel and tower. 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. Princess, carriage and necklace take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 3 words start with C. When you find a C, check it for crown, castle and carriage.
- 3 words start with T. When you find a T, check it for tiara, throne and tower.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: princess, queen, ball, dress, carriage, slipper and ribbon.
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.
Print it for a royal tea party, a dress up afternoon or a quiet moment after a princess story. Color each found word in a jewel color, then draw the crown you would wear to the ball.
