A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: bloom, tulip, nest, robin, seeds, bunny, kite, warm, mud and bud. 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. Umbrella, rainbow and ladybug take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 4 words start with B. When you find a B, check it for bloom, bunny, breeze and bud.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: bloom, puddle, seeds, bunny, umbrella and breeze.
